Pedro Pascal meets former ‘Fantastic Four’ star Jessica Alba in new photo

It’s a real-life Marvel multiverse collision.

Pedro Pascal, who stars as the stretchable Reed Richards in this year’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, met Jessica Alba, the actress who played Reed’s wife, Sue Storm, in the former Fox-run Fantastic Four movies in the 2000s.

Alba shared a group photo to her Instagram Story after attending a performance of the Rachel Zegler-led Evita in London’s West End this week. Pascal was among the guests posing with Alba, as was his longtime bestie, actress Sarah Paulson.

“Besos,” Alba captioned the photo, which is Spanish for “kisses.”

Alba starred as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman starting in 2005’s Fantastic Four, which also featured Ioan Gruffudd as Reed, future Captain America star Chris Evans as Johnny Storm/the Human Torch, and Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm/the Thing.

Together, the quartet battled Julian McMahon Doctor Victor von Doom before reuniting for the sequel, 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, which introduced Doug Jones as the Silver Surfer, the cosmic herald of the world-devouring space god Galactus.

Since the Walt Disney Company purchased 21st Century Fox properties, including the screen rights to the Fantastic Four characters, the studio has now incorporated them into their Avengers franchise. In a comedic twist, Evans reprised his Johnny Storm role for last year’s Deadpool & Wolverine.

The superheroes known as Marvel’s First Family will now formally enter Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe with this month’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, in theaters July 25. Set in an alternate reality, one where technology and space exploration was much more advanced by the 1960s, the film introduces Pascal as Reed, Vanessa Kirby as Sue, Joseph Quinn as Johnny, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben.

Julia Garner and Ralph Ineson will also appear as the Silver Surfer and Galactus, respectively, while Marvel veteran Robert Downey Jr. will eventually portray Doctor Doom.
