The camaraderie among the actors was clear, both on and off the stage. Pedro Pascal spoke about the pressure and excitement of joining the Marvel universe.
'Each time you step into one, and you feel like this can't be scarier, you find out, oh, this is scarier,' he said. The actor reflected on the responsibility of playing such an iconic character.
He added, 'The lucky thing is to anchor yourself so completely to a partnership. To your colleagues, to the original kind of authorship of this particular telling of the Fantastic Four .
It holds you and really, really can be the perfect antidote to the fear and to the pressure and stuff like that. You just wrap yourself around that'.
Vanessa Kirby praised Pascal's openness on set. 'He doesn't have much armour, so he reveals himself to you right away. You trust that person because he's showing himself in such a courageous manner'.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps promises to be a major event for superhero fans worldwide, including those in South Africa.
The film follows Marvel's First Family as they face their greatest enemy yet – Galactus, the cosmic being who threatens to consume the world.
The movie features a star-studded supporting cast, including Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner, and John Malkovich.
As anticipation builds, the Berlin event has set the tone for what promises to be one of the year's most memorable blockbusters.
As Pascal put it, 'You just never know if people are going to be disgusted by your heart or not. But we put all of our hearts on a platter within this genre'.

Miss SA Mia Le Roux announces engagement: 'Yes to forever!'
Miss South Africa Mia Le Roux has announced her engagement to partner Luke Ten Oever. The beauty queen is the second winner, after Natasha Joubert, to get engaged during her reign. In previous years, winners have waited until their year in the spotlight is over to make significant life decisions like getting engaged, marrying, or even having a baby. In an Instagram post, Mia Le Roux announced the happy news of her engagement. The first differently abled Miss SA queen shared pictures of herself with her partner: ' I cannot wait to become your wife!' 'The immense love, patience, and sacrifice you have shown me this year has been nothing short of incredible. From the way you hold space for me with calm and steadiness in life's tough moments to the way we lose ourselves in laughter over the silliest things. My heart will choose you over and over again'. Mia le Roux added that the couple had been engaged for a while, and that they were now 'ready to share our joy with the world'. She added: 'We said yes to forever!' Last year, Natasha Joubert – Mia Le Roux's predecessor – became the first-ever Miss SA to become engaged during her year of reign. According to the competition, the occasion was above board. Spokesperson Janine Walker said: 'Since the current Miss South Africa Organisation has owned the title, title holders have been able to date. And once rules were changed to allow married women and mothers to enter, they have been allowed to be engaged during their reign.' Walker added that winners could also get married or even fall pregnant and have a baby. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .
