Pedro Pascal, known for his role as Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic, has reportedly completed filming his scenes for Avengers: Doomsday, according to Deadline. Production teams began filming the highly anticipated fifth Avengers film in April 2025. They plan to continue filming for several more months. However, Pascal filmed for only three months. As a result, fans speculate that his character may not appear in the latter half of production.
The Fantastic Four’s Role in Avengers: Doomsday
Pascal stars in the Fantastic Four cast alongside Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Early in filming, fans spotted all four actors, who reportedly hold “key” roles that could shape the overall storyline of Avengers: Doomsday. Although the film features a large ensemble cast of over 25 actors, the Russo Brothers plan to split characters into separate storylines to keep the narrative engaging, similar to their approach in Avengers: Infinity War.
Production Details and Future Plans
No Finished Script Before Shooting Started
Interestingly, Avengers: Doomsday reportedly began shooting without a completed script. This unusual approach allows for flexibility, with reshoots possibly scheduled later. Should scheduling permit, Pedro Pascal might return to film additional scenes during these reshoots, keeping fans hopeful for more appearances.
Pedro Pascal’s Busy 2025 Schedule
Pedro Pascal’s 2025 is already packed with multiple projects, which may explain his limited filming period on Avengers: Doomsday. Besides this blockbuster, Pascal is starring in The Fantastic Four, Eddington, Materialists, and the highly anticipated The Last of Us Season 2. Additionally, he is managing a global press tour. Looking ahead, Pascal’s upcoming slate includes returning to The Mandalorian & Grogu in 2026 and a potential role in Tony Gilroy’s Behemoth. Moreover, he will appear in Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027, and rumors say he will star in a Fantastic Four sequel.
Directed by the Russo Brothers, Anthony and Joe, Avengers: Doomsday is set to release on December 18, 2026. Given the sheer size of the ensemble cast and the complex storylines, the film promises to deliver an epic and multifaceted narrative. Furthermore, fans can expect intricate character arcs and high-stakes drama as the MCU continues to evolve.
The Significance of Reed Richards in the MCU’s Avengers: Doomsday
Reed Richards, played by Pascal, is a pivotal character in Marvel lore as the leader of the Fantastic Four. Moreover, his scientific genius and strategic mind make him essential to the MCU’s future, especially with the introduction of cosmic-level threats. While Pascal’s limited filming schedule might hint at a more focused role, Reed Richards’ impact on the MCU storyline is still expected to be profound.
