Pedro Pascal's Comic Book Journey: Unveiling His Top 3 Adaptations

Pedro Pascal's introduction to the MCU in Fantastic Four marks his fifth comic book adaptation role. The casting of Pascal as Reed Richards has sparked discussions about his suitability for the role, touching on issues of resemblance, age, and his current level of fame. However, his experience should not be overlooked in these conversations.

The pressure is on for the MCU to deliver a successful Fantastic Four movie after previous failed attempts and a controversial unreleased version from the '90s. This pressure will also be felt by the cast, including Pascal, who has been making a name for himself in Hollywood. As the leader of the Fantastic Four, Pascal's impressive resume makes him a fitting choice for the role.

One of his notable appearances was in two Wonder Woman adaptations, first as Diana's police liaison and later as Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman 1984.

One of the less well-known adaptations in Pascal's repertoire is The Sixth Gun, based on the comic book series of the same name by Cullen Bunn. In this adaptation, Pascal plays the role of Pinkerton detective Special Agent Ortega in a smaller role. On the other hand, Kingsman: The Golden Circle is adapted from The Secret Service series written by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. The Kingsman prefix was retroactively added to the series following the success of the movie franchise. Despite Pascal's impressive back catalog, two of his comic book adaptation roles are much harder to find than the others.

In 2011 and 2013, pilot episodes were ordered for potential Wonder Woman and The Sixth Gun TV series. However, NBC decided not to move forward with either of them. This unfortunate outcome means that the episodes will not be officially released. There are talks of a new attempt at The Sixth Gun by Universal Studio Group, but it seems unlikely that Pedro Pascal will be part of it due to his commitment to the new Fantastic Four movie in the MCU.

The pilot episodes for Wonder Woman and The Sixth Gun can currently be found on YouTube.
