Celebrity couple Carmina Villarroel and Zoren Legaspi, along with their twins Mavy and Cassy, had the chance to meet the lead stars of The Fantastic Four: First Steps during the film’s premiere in Sydney, Australia.
Carmina took to Instagram to share snapshots of their encounter with the Hollywood cast as part of an interview opportunity.
"Legaspi Family meets Fatntastic Four 💙 What an honor! @vanessa__kirby Pedro Pascal @josephquinn @ebonmossbachrach Thank you for this experience @marvelphilippines 🙏🏻," the actress posted.
Mavy, who recently became one of the hosts of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, also shared photos of the special moment on his Instagram. "So this just happened… 🤯," he posted.
Fans online were quick to react to the posts of the Legaspi family.
"Can't wait to see the interviews 🙌," one fan commented.
"Congrats Legaspi family! 👏" another fan wrote.
In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Pedro Pascal leads the cast as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, alongside Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal / Silver Surfer, and Ralph Ineson as Galactus.
In a past interview with Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige emphasized the importance of the Fantastic Four in Marvel’s legacy, calling them "the foundation for everything that came after in the comics."
"There's certainly been versions of it [on screen], but never inhabiting the storytelling of the MCU. And that's something that is really exciting for us. People will start to hear more about that soon. We plan on that being a big pillar of the MCU going forward, just the way they've been in the comics for 50 or 60 years," he remarked.
During the recent London premiere of the film, Pedro described the movie as a movie "about family" as reported by The Straits Times. The actor added: "It’s about caring for humankind. It’s about protecting human innocence and knowing that you can’t do it alone. We can only do it together."
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to premiere in Philippine cinemas on July 23.
