Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic? Sign me up!

Apparently, I have been living under a ROCK, because I had no idea that Pedro Pascal was going to be Marvel’s new Mr. Fantastic. In fact, I thought John Krasinski had the role. So imagine my surprise this morning, Valentine’s Day, as I am rushing to meet a deadline for work but still clicked on an Instagram notification from Pedro Pascal — he’s the new Mr. Fantastic. And baby, he looks geeewwwd. I don’t know if it’s the white streaks in his cartoon hair or how lowkey babygirl he looks.

I’ll be honest with you. I screamed. I immediately sent it to my fellow Pedro-loving friend, and we gassed him up together.

How does one 40-something-year-old man look so sweet and so hot at the same time? Has he singlehandedly re-invigorated my Marvel excitement? Because I’ll be honest, Marvel is too much now. Matteo Lane & Nick Smith have a great podcast episode about it, and it’s exactly how I feel! And it’s only 15min!

Anyway… did y’all know about this? Am I the last to know? That’s fine, but wow, am I glad to know now!
