Part 5/10:
A recurring theme in the conversation is the placement of Pedro Pascal at the forefront of Fantastic Four's cast. While Pascal is admired for performances in Game of Thrones and Narcos, critics argue his recent elevated status to leading man might be misplaced. His star power doesn't quite match his roles, and he’s not a proven box office draw.
Furthermore, Pascal’s current media presence—characterized by numerous projects leading up to his pivotal Marvel role—has resulted in "Pedro fatigue." Fans and industry watchers feel saturated, worried that his widespread visibility may turn audiences off, much like overexposure diminishes interest in any star.
