During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, actor Pedro Pascal set a playful tone for the show by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Adult Content.” This colorful introduction foreshadowed a lively conversation as Pascal promoted the highly anticipated second season of HBO’s The Last of Us.

Insights on Mister Fantastic

The evening took a humorous turn when Kimmel and Pascal delved into Pascal’s upcoming role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Fantastic Four: First Steps. In this film, Pascal stars as Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, who is famous for his unique ability to stretch his body in extraordinary ways.

Kimmel, seeking clarification on the extent of Richards’ powers, awkwardly queried, “I was wondering if all of Mister Fantastic’s body parts stretch.” Pascal’s surprised expression elicited laughter from the audience, displaying his knack for comedic timing while addressing the curious question.

Responding to Kimmel’s inquiry, Pascal humorously affirmed, “Everything has to stretch,” which further amused the audience.

Comic Strip Surprise

The banter continued when Kimmel unveiled a panel from a Fantastic Four comic depicting Pascal’s character in a flirtatious moment with a woman under the covers. In the scene, Richards inquires if she would like anything from the kitchen, to which she coyly remarks about his “wonderful set of abilities” derived from cosmic rays.

Pascal, embracing the playful undertone, noted that the woman was likely referring to his impressive conversation skills, adding a clever spin to the comic’s context.
