“In terms of superheroes, I don’t know, I did slightly have my eye on Reed Richards, and unfortunately, it looks like they’ve gone in a different direction,” David said, via MCM Comic Con, adding, “although if it has to be someone, I’m very happy for it to be Pedro Pascal, frankly.”
“I would have quite liked to be Reed Richards, I’d quite like to be able to do all that,” he said, reaching out in front of himself demonstrating the elastic power. “So I’ll stick with that even though it’s gone, even though it’s gonna be a while before there’s another go at that, I think, unfortunately.”
“I think Pedro Pascal is great. I’m very, very pleased that he exists,” David said.
While he may not be getting to play Reed Richards anytime soon, David is set to return for a third and final season of his series Good Omens. Find out the latest!
