Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal are getting praised for their Fantastic Four chemistry.
The pair are co-starring in Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps, the reboot of the superhero franchise, alongside Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn and The Bear’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach. You can catch them in the flick after it debuts in theatres on 25 July.
After that trailer debuted, eagle-eyed social media users have taken to X to wonder if their on-screen magic has translated to something off-screen.

What is the internet saying about Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal?
The internet was immediately endeared to the real-life talent behind Sue Storm and Mister Fantastic’s rapport together while watching the first trailer for the movie. Their love was proved in the most digital way; using how reaction gifs worthy of their sweet moments were together as proof.
Someone wrote, “the longest gif in the universe: pedro pascal resting his head on vanessa’s kirby shoulder while they hold hands and watch the fantastic four: first steps trailer.”

Kirby and Pascal’s natural air together was a bit much for some people, explaining how they weren’t sure “how to deal” for when the promo tour heats up this summer.

Others noted their rather large age difference and how odd any potential romance looked to them. Kirby is 36 while Pascal is 49.
Someone posted, “Babe like vanessa kirby romancing uncle type looking Pedro pascal.”

This is not the first time people have noted their way with each other. Last summer, it was noted when the film was talked about at Comic-Con.
One person wrote, “not vanessa getting pedro literally blushing, giggling and kicking his feet…”
