The footage shows Pascal placing his hand on Colagrande's chin and stroking it while standing directly in front of Dafoe for a few seconds. In the cut-out clip of the video, some viewers noted that Dafoe's expression might have appeared to change after Pascal's interaction with Colagrande. Some fans have commented that they believe Pascal is facing unfair scrutiny, as the cut-out clip does not provide any context for Pascal's interaction with Colagrande. Netizens also claim that although several pictures exist of Pascal hugging Dafoe seconds later, these images haven't circulated as widely as the controversial moment. One commenter posted on X (formerly Twitter) that some social media users are unable to 'fathom platonic intimacy' between a male and a female. Another wrote, 'Clips shared with no back story or out of context become viral and can change public perception of someone and destroy people's lives.' Online discussions about Pascal's physical interaction with colleagues started after he appeared at the San Diego Comic-Con with Fantastic Four star Vanessa Kirby. In a moment of 'anxiety,' Pascal reached out for Kirby's hand. In response, Kirby took his hand and squeezed it assuringly. While the tender moment showed the pair's close friendship, it also received criticism online. Later, Kirby addressed the incident in a Vanity Fair interview. She explained, 'What happened is we were both incredibly nervous going out in front of thousands of people who love this comic.' She added, 'He wanted me to know that we were in this together, and I found it a lovely gesture and was very glad to squeeze his hand back.'

Pedro Pascal hopes to give Marvel bounce with Fantastic Four reboot
The Fantastic Four actors Pascal (left) and Kirby play a superpower couple in the movie who's ready to welcome their child into the world. — AP American-Chilean actor Pedro Pascal stars as a stretchy Earth saviour in Marvel's latest blockbuster The Fantastic Four: First Steps , out now at cinemas, that will test the appetite for more superhero films. After wielding a sword in Gladiator 2 and a gun in The Last Of Us , the 50-year-old plays the elastic Mister Fantastic alongside the character's wife, the Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), his best friend the Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and his brother-in-law the Human Torch (Joseph Quinn). The film is set in a retro-futuristic New York and is hoping to do better than previous reboots of the franchise which have struggled at the box office. The plot sees Mister Fantastic and his wife overwhelmed with joy at a long-hoped-for positive pregnancy test before their lives are upended by news that Galactus, a galactic Godzilla-like character who devours planets, is heading for Earth. While such apocalyptic threats are nothing new in the Marvel universe – or in previous Fantastic Four films – the pregnancy storyline is a rare twist in the world of superheroes. 'Motherhood is something that you can incorporate in all areas of your life, it affects every area of your life in a beautiful way,' Kirby told journalists at a recent press event in Paris. In his double role as superhero and doting dad, Pascal continues to shape his image of a thoughtful, emotionally intelligent man that fuels his popularity. 'I'm not original by any means when it comes to human decency,' he told reporters in Paris, adding that treating people and himself with respect was 'a human thing and I think a very, very basic and beautiful standard to live by'. Previous versions of the Fantastic Four franchise from the Marvel stable – which includes X-Men, the Avengers, Iron Man and Spider-Man – have been resounding flops. A 2015 remake made just US$168mil (RM708.29mil today) at the global box office. Variety magazine wrote that the latest incarnation 'succeeds where earlier attempts have faltered – and good thing, too, since the studio has a lot more riding on this franchise now'. Marvel movies would earn 'upwards of US$1bil (RM4.22bil) at the box office' at their peak, 'but they've lost steam of late', the magazine noted. Marvel has struggled this year to score with audiences, with its biggest releases Thunderbolts and Captain America: Brave New World struggling for acclaim. – AFP
