Pedro Pascal has shared his first-ever cast selfie with his Fantastic Four co-stars Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn.
‘Our first mission,’ Pedro, 49, wrote in the caption of the Instagram post, which showed Vanessa wrapping him in a loving embrace.
Vanessa, who is best known as Princess Margaret on the first two seasons of The Crown, will star as Sue Storm and her alter ego The Invisible Woman.
Meanwhile Pedro, who shot to fame on Game Of Thrones and can now be seen on The Last Of Us, plays the group’s ringleader Mr. Fantastic aka Reed Richards.
Ebon, who achieved new notoriety on the buzzy series The Bear starring Jeremy Allen White, features as Ben Grimm and his superhero persona The Thing.

Joseph, star of the new horror movie A Quiet Place: Day One, rounds out the quartet as the Human Torch, whose real name is Johnny Storm.
In addition to the cast selfie, Pedro also affectionately uploaded a picture of the movie’s director Matt Shakman beaming next to a ladder, presumably on set.
Pedro hinted at that the movie might have comic leanings when he uploaded a goofy poster promoting the project on Valentine’s Day.
The drawing showed the Fantastic Four lounging in a living room under a ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ streamer, in a setup reminiscent of a sitcom publicity still.
In another telling detail, The Thing is depicted reading what fans have identified as the December 13, 1963 issue of Life magazine, with then-US President Lyndon B Johnson on the cover.
‘I can tell you how excited I am which is beyond! There isn’t anything more exciting than being in a cast like that,’ Pedro gushed to Entertainment Tonight that month.
‘To be invited to a family like that is unbelievable, and we all just want to do our best and share it with the world,’ added the Hollywood heartthrob.
Two previous Fantastic Four movies have come out, one in 2005 starring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans and one in 2015 starring Miles Teller and Kate Mara.

Both movies were spectacular failures critically and commercially, but now a third stab is being made at a Fantastic Four film, this one to be released in 2025.
Russian Doll star Natasha Lyonne is known to be in the cast of the upcoming picture, although her role remains undisclosed.
Legendary actor John Malkovich has also been enlisted to feature in the next Fantastic Four, but his character’s identity has similarly yet to be made public.
Ozark actress Julia Garner is involved with the picture, with rumors abounding that she will play a version of the Silver Surfer called Shalla-Bal.
I, Tonya breakout Paul Walter Hauser, who led the cast of Clint Eastwood’s political drama Richard Jewell, has joined the Fantastic Four fold as well.
‘So I can’t say anything about the character I’m playing, but know that it is in the sort of lexicon and mythology of The Fantastic Four stories,’ he told Screen Rant.
‘And it’s a very distinct character that I’m excited to play and I’m kind of mapping out what I’m doing with that right now.’
