“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” grossed $118 million at the domestic box office over the weekend—largely meeting earlier projections, but still placing it behind “Superman” for the biggest superhero film opening of 2025 so far.

But there was a very simple way for the MCU to reboot its thirst traps in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. And Pedro Pascal didn't even need to go shirtless for it. He would have simply needed to unbutton a bit.

Pedro Pascal took his sisters Lux Pascal and Javiera Balmaceda to the world premiere of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" in Downtown Los Angeles on Monday night.

Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal star as married couple Reed Richards and Sue Storm in 'The Fantastic Four: The First Steps.' The duo reveal their characters' wedding song and how they grew close amid filming the latest Marvel film.

The four fantastic friends are back for their fourth official big-screen outing — their mission this time is not only to save the world but to redeem themselves after the disastrous 2015 reboot starring Miles Teller.

The only way he knows how to handle that is by starting to baby-proof the world, rather than just be present for the experience.” — Pedro Pascal/aka Mr. Fantastic

Marvel’s First Family — as embodied by the quartet of stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach — was in attendance at the world premiere for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, held at Los Angeles’ Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on Monday.

Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach give new, old-fashioned life to the Fantastic Four.

This iteration of the Fantastic Four has a standalone adventure without all the burden of the MCU's history and cast of characters.
