Updated shooting dates for Season 2 of The Last of Us may be another indication that Pedro Pascal, the show’s star, is getting ready to join Marvel’s Fantastic Four.
Talk of Pedro Pascal jumping ship to the MCU is rampant. According to reports from both big sites and scoopers, the Mandalorian megastar has joined the Fantastic Four.
All eyes are on Pascal’s agenda elsewhere to see what his next steps are, especially given his role in Gladiator 2 and The Last of Us, even if official casting announcements have not yet been announced.
A more comprehensive perspective may emerge via updates on those projects, and a recent minor update to The Last of Us may provide more evidence that Pascal has committed to playing Reed Richards.
An update on production for The Last of Us may confirm the Fantastic Four’s cast.
Public disclosure of personnel announcements and production start dates is common. One such listing is for a television program known as Mega Word, which stands for The Last of Us Season 2.
The shooting window, which runs from February 20, 2024, until September 9, 2024, is intriguing.
Pedro Pascal’s decision to join the Fantastic Four is based on his availability for Gladiator and The Last of Us Season 2, as THR previously reported. The fact that The Last of Us has set a premiere date would mean that Pascal is getting ready to confirm his Fantastic Four commitment through production of the Max series.
The extent of Pedro Pascal’s involvement in the upcoming The Last of Us Season 2 is unknown as of this writing. Joel, Pascal’s character, is notoriously eliminated from the game very early on. But in an interview with IGN, showrunner Neil Druckmann hinted that season 2 would depart from the game.
Additionally, there have been no new developments for Gladiator 2, whose production was halted in May 2023 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike of that same year. The current release date for the sequel is November 2024.
Although insider information and preliminary rumors suggested Pascal would be joining the cast after Jake Gyllenhaal declined to play Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, no official casting for the Fantastic Four has been announced. There are also rumors that Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bacharach will have major parts in the movie.
Fantastic Four and The Last of Us Season 2 both aim for 2025 release dates. Check back frequently on Dexerto for the most recent information, whether you’re a superscientist or a zombie hunter.
