David Tennant gutted to miss out on Marvel role
David Tennant was keen to play Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic In 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps'. The former 'Doctor Who' star - who played Killgrave in Marvel's Netflix series 'Jessica Jones' - has revealed he was eyeing the superhero role before Pedro Pascal landed the part. Appearing on a panel at MCM Comic Con in London on Saturday (24.05.25), he said: 'In terms of superheroes, I don't know, I did slightly have my eye on Reed Richards, and unfortunately, it looks like they've gone in a different direction, although if it has to be someone, I'm happy for it to be Pedro Pascal, frankly.' The 54-year-old actor doubts he'll get a chance to portray the iconic character, but was full of praise of Pedro. Tennant said: 'I would have quite liked to be Reed Richards, I'd quite like to be able to do all that. 'So I'll stick with that even though it's gone, even though it's gonna be a while before there's another go at that, I think, unfortunately.' He added: 'I think Pedro Pascal is great. I'm very, very pleased that he exists.' Pedro recently admitted he found playing Mister Fantastic "really intimidating". The 50-year-old actor always feels under immense pressure when joining established franchises, having had roles in 'Game of Thrones' and 'Star Wars', because he wants to make audiences "happy" while staying true to himself. He told Entertainment Weekly: 'It was really intimidating. 'I relied on the people that I was around to hold me to the experience and help get me through it. Stepping into something like Game of Thrones and then going into the early days of Netflix with Narcos and then Star Wars and the world of video games with The Last of Us, each time I've felt like I couldn't top how intimidating the last one was. They're all scary because you really want to make people happy, especially if it's something that's widely known with particular expectations around it because you want those expectations to be met. You also want to be authentic to yourself so that it can be the best that it can be for anybody who wants to be entertained by a story and travel with us into this world.' Ebon Moss Bachrach will play Ben Grimm/The Thing, with Vanessa Kirby starring as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch.
