Pedro Pascal's Costume Design Notes: 'Fantastic Four' Cast Reacts to Marvel Rivals' Risqué Invisible Woman Skin
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
The cast of the new 'Fantastic Four' movie played 'Marvel Rivals' and had a hilarious reaction to Invisible Woman's, uh, revealing skin, prompting Pedro Pascal to give some notes to the costume designer. Also, it seems 'Marvel Rivals' has had a successful launch, though followed by troubling layoffs.
Right, so the upcoming 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' cast got their mitts on NetEase's 'Marvel Rivals,' and things got a little... spicy. Courtesy of Eurogamer, we’ve got the lowdown on their reactions, and fair dinkum, it's a riot.
Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing), and Joseph Quinn (Human Torch) all jumped into the hero shooter with YouTuber Loserfruit. While their gaming skills might need a *slight* bit of polish (Pascal apparently wondered if console classes were a thing, bless his heart), it was their reaction to Invisible Woman's 'Malice' skin that really stole the show.
The skin, shall we say, leaves very little to the imagination. Kirby's immediate reaction? A finger snap and, "This is my favourite bit of her as well." She even hinted at a potential sequel including the skin design. The lads, however, looked like someone had just shown them a magic trick gone wrong – a mix of surprise and amusement.
Pascal, ever the professional, quickly recovered, quipping, "Costume designer, take note." The clip, shared by the official 'Marvel Rivals' account, has since gone viral. You can't blame them, really; it's not every day you see a Marvel hero rocking a getup that's more Baywatch than Baxter Building.
Now, 'Marvel Rivals' apparently amassed over 40 million players since launch, which is nothing to sniff at. Despite this apparent success, NetEase went through a round of layoffs in the dev team earlier this year, citing a need to "optimise development efficiency." Bit of a mixed message, isn't it? Huge player base, but gotta streamline the operation? Sounds familiar.
So, what does this all mean? Well, it means that even the actors playing our beloved heroes are just as susceptible to a good, slightly awkward, surprise as the rest of us. It also highlights the ongoing push-and-pull between fan service and… well, *fan service*. Are we here for faithful adaptations, or for eye-catching skins that spark a thousand memes? Maybe it's a bit of both, eh? Either way, I reckon this clip is a reminder that gaming – and superhero movies – are meant to be fun, even when they're a little bit silly.
Pascal's reaction alone makes it worth checking out the clip. Plus, you know, maybe drop a line to the 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' costume department. Just a thought.
