Fantastic Four's trailer just gave us a first look at Marvel's First Family, with Pedro Pascal stepping into the role of the new Mr. Fantastic. During the trailer launch earlier today, the actor talked about joining the MCU, and revealed some unusual inspiration for those retro white-and-blue jumpsuits.

Pascal admitted to Good Morning America that it was "humbling" to take on this iconic character, and said about the film's fashion choices: "The suit was very fitting for all of us, and had a little bit of a retro GoGo [style]. And I think we pulled it off".

In the first images of the film, we see Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm wearing slightly different versions of the same outfit — a blue jumpsuit with white boots, belt and gloves, and with the signature 4 in the chest.
