Pedro Pascal, the star of The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, recently tried his hand at cooking with Gordon Ramsay. The actor is set to play Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, in Marvel’s upcoming film Fantastic Four: First Steps. But before hitting the big screen, Pascal faced a fiery test in Ramsay’s kitchen.
The popular chef, known for his no-nonsense attitude, invited Pascal for a cooking session. Things didn’t go as smoothly as the actor might have hoped. Pascal struggled with basic kitchen skills, especially chopping onions. His slow and uneven knife work visibly frustrated Ramsay, who didn’t hold back his criticism.
Trying to lighten the mood, Pascal pulled out his best Salt Bae impression while slicing meat. The gesture brought some laughs, but it didn’t make up for the performance. Ramsay, known for holding high culinary standards, seemed far from impressed.
Despite the kitchen flop, fans remain excited about Pascal’s next big role. Fantastic Four: First Steps is one of Marvel’s most anticipated films. Industry experts are predicting strong box office results. According to Box Office Theory, the film is expected to earn between $125 million and $145 million during its opening weekend in the U.S.
Domestic totals could reach as high as $382 million, even with competition from the new Superman movie. The pre-sales and early tracking numbers suggest that Fantastic Four: First Steps is on target to meet Marvel’s usual box office success.
While Pedro Pascal may not be winning any cooking awards soon, his star power in Hollywood remains strong. Fans are more interested in seeing him stretch his superpowers than his knife skills.
For now, Ramsay may want to keep Pascal out of the kitchen and Pascal may want to stick to saving the world on screen.
