Meeting and Interviewing The Fantastic Four Actors at the Former French Communist Party Headquarters

Unveiling Marvel’s The Fantastic Four at the Former French Communist Party Headquarters – Niemeyer Cultural Center Venue Reveals Film’s Aesthetic Link

The global promotional tour for The Fantastic Four kicked off in Paris on July 7, with events also planned for London, Sydney, Los Angeles, New York City, and Berlin. The Paris leg notably took place at an unconventional venue: the Niemeyer Cultural Center, the former headquarters of the French Communist Party. This choice, seemingly contradictory for a major production from a leading entertainment company, had a creative rationale. Inside the Oscar Niemeyer-designed building in Paris’s 19th arrondissement, Marvel and Disney hosted a press gathering for content creators and journalists. Attendees met the cast—Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach—who portray the MCU’s first family. Discussions during the event highlighted the film’s aesthetic connection to the symbolic architecture; the venue’s design inspired the look of the Baxter Building. When asked about their reactions to the location’s tie to their on-screen universe, Pedro Pascal delivered a humorous response.

Marvel’s Fantastic Four Paris Event Unveils Retro-Futuristic Aesthetics and Pedro Pascal’s Global Success

Beyond the striking setting, Marvel and Disney successfully incorporated a distinct 1960s aesthetic across the promotional locations. Vintage microphones and other props created a striking retro-futuristic atmosphere, mirroring the film’s style. This unique artistic direction was a topic of discussion regarding its influence on actors’ performances and character portrayals. The casting for The Fantastic Four is exceptional, with each actor excelling in their role with precision and sincerity. Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, who are close friends in real life, share a noteworthy on-screen chemistry, portraying a relationship rich with passion, tenderness, and depth. During the Paris event, the Fantastic Four cast offered insights into the film and their experiences. Pedro Pascal continues to experience significant global success, a phenomenon dubbed “Pedro Mania.” A journalist from 20 Minutes specifically asked whether this fervor was truly deserved. Insights regarding Pascal’s off-screen persona were gathered from co-stars Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Additionally, questions were posed about Avengers: Doomsday, currently filming in London, though no details were disclosed during the interviews.
