Overview

• Pascal told LADbible he was “so appalled” by his clean-shaven appearance in Wonder Woman 1984 and has avoided shaving since unless absolutely necessary.
• He admitted his natural facial hair is sparse and said he “really look[s] very awful” without a beard or mustache.
• Pascal confirmed he would have shaved for Fantastic Four: First Steps if filmmakers insisted, but a collaborative design process secured his signature mustache.
• He will debut his mustached Reed Richards when Fantastic Four: First Steps opens on July 25, 2025, marking his official MCU entry.
• His decision reflects a trend of actors influencing character aesthetics to balance comic-book expectations with personal comfort.
