Hollywood's Favorite Gay-Coded Pudgy Hispanic Plank of Wood Rails Against the Conservative Half of the Country as Disney Sends Him Out to Promote the Upcoming Marvel Bomb "Fantastic Four"

Word is, Disney had much more faith in the Thunderbolts movie, and saw greater fan interest in it, than in the Fantastic Four movie.

And the Thunderbolts movie just sputtered to a sub-$300 million haul. Yes, it will cross the $300 million (global) threshold over the next couple of weeks, but it won't come anywhere close to $400 million. Or close to $350 million.

Even The Eternals made $400 million... during the pandemic.

And Disney expects Fantastic Four to perform even more poorly.

And Pedro Pascal will be part of the reason for widespread fan disinterest.

Pascal has recently attacked "toxic masculinity" with fellow gay-coded actor Oscar Isaac.

The internet is buzzing once again over Pedro Pascal, but this time, it's not because he's promoting some radical ideology or starring in just about every project Hollywood announces. No, this time it's all about an Instagram story featuring Pascal and his longtime friend Oscar Isaac full-on snuggling--something that has the legacy media predictably tripping over itself to declare yet another victory against so-called "toxic masculinity."

He also attacked an actual woman, JK Rowling, as a "heinous loser" for not wanting to shower with rando mentally-ill dudes in wigs.

Pedro Pascal, best known for his role in The Mandalorian and The Last of Us has inserted himself into the ongoing debate over gender terminology and women's spaces by publicly disparaging bestselling Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. The actor left a comment on activist Tariq Ra'ouf's Instagram post calling Rowling a "heinous loser," following her support for a recent UK Supreme Court ruling that clarified legal definitions around biological sex.

And now: This shapeless void of anti-charisma attacks half the country has fascists.

And he's starring in a movie that seems to support Covid fascism!

Pedro Pascal Went Off in Profane Political Meltdown at Cannes and Got Applause, Gina Carano Got Fired for a Meme

Its becoming impossible to ignore the way Hollywood treats Pedro Pascal compared to the way it treated Gina Carano.

Pedro Pascal stood in front of the international press at Cannes, dropped an F-bomb on political opponents in the United States, promoted a film that vilifies conservatives, and walked away with applause and headlines. Meanwhile, Gina Carano -- who said far less, without profanity or attacks -- remains blacklisted from Hollywood, forced to take her fight to court.

That's the double standard on full display.

While promoting A24's Eddington, Pascal was asked whether he was concerned about returning to the U.S. given the film's political message. His response was blunt.

"F*** the people who try to make you scared," he said. "Fear is the way that they win... keep expressing yourself and don't let them win."

The film itself is set in New Mexico during the 2020 lockdowns and features a clash between Pascal's left-leaning mayor and Joaquin Phoenix's sheriff. The story has been described by critics as a direct attack on conservative populism, set in a town tearing itself apart. Variety praised its aggressive tone and message, with Pascal calling the script a form of "whistleblowing" and saying it felt like someone was finally speaking out "from the inside."

There has been no public reprimand from Disney for these comments. No distancing from Marvel. No statement from Lucasfilm. And there won't be.

Pascal remains the star of The Mandalorian & Grogu and is still playing a prominent role in Avengers: Secret Wars.

In 2021, Carano shared a social media post warning that demonizing political opponents could lead to dark consequences. It didn't include any foul language. It didn't target anyone. It simply referenced historical patterns from the 1940s in Germany, when neighbor turned against neighbor. It was a call for awareness. For that, Lucasfilm terminated her contract, issued a public statement condemning her, and effectively erased her from the Star Wars universe.

She has not worked with a major studio since.

The very normal actor further wooed the straight young men that make up what remains of the superhero movie audience by dancing suggestively with a rainbow-colored phallic glowstick, because that's what normal men do.
