Pedro's one line drives Marvel fans wild

· Fact-checked before it aired. Unconfirmed claims from this segment are not shown.

Pedro Pascal revealed one line of dialogue he says as Reed Richards in Avengers: Doomsday: "It's good to see you again." The reveal came during promotion for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which opens imminently.

Pascal shared the line in an interview as a small, non-spoilery tease from the upcoming Doomsday script. Separately, he had to clarify earlier reports that Reed Richards would "lead the Avengers" in Doomsday after The Fantastic Four director Matt Shakman's comments were taken out of context.

Pedro Pascal did reveal one line of dialogue he has in Avengers: Doomsday: “It's good to see you again.”

"Housewife" by Tate McRae debuted at #2 on the Official UK Singles Chart. It's her ninth top 10 hit and her highest charting single.

The Last of Us had HBO's second-biggest series premiere, behind House of the Dragon, and received 24 Emmy nominations with 8 wins.

What the hosts said

LParis Hilton just did Halloween as Britney Spears in the "I'm a Slave 4 U" outfit, and honestly? It's perfect.
CThe snake? The full Britney at the VMAs?
LThe full thing. She posted it—the sparkly bikini, the python, the whole look. The caption is basically her just committing to the bit.
CYou know what I respect about that? Paris has always understood the assignment on costume tributes. She doesn't do lazy.
LAnd there's something sweet about it—two pop icons from the same era, no drama, just one honoring the other.
CMeanwhile, Pedro Pascal just revealed the ONE line he says in Avengers: Doomsday. That's it. That's the whole tease.
LI heard about this. It's..."It's good to see you again." Which tells us absolutely nothing.
CBut the internet is losing its mind anyway. Because who is he talking to? Which version of a character? Someone he thought was dead?
LHold on. You're telling me a grown man in a superhero movie says hello to someone, and that's the story?
CNo, no—listen. This is the first time Reed Richards is in the main Marvel timeline. The line could be him seeing an old friend... or an old enemy.
LOr the guy at the coffeeshop who got his order wrong three years ago. We don't know!
CThe fan accounts are already cutting trailers in their heads. One reply said watch them use this line over someone who isn't even in the scene.
LThat is EXACTLY what Marvel would do. They'd tease it, then in the final cut it's the vending machine.
CMy favorite part: Pascal just had to walk back a whole thing where people thought Reed Richards would lead the Avengers.
LWait, the director said that. Matt Shakman said Reed leads the Avengers.
CHe says he didn't. He says he was talking about the comics, not the movie. The internet ran with it.
LSo the Fantastic Four director is surprised that Marvel fans overanalyzed a quote? That's like being surprised water is wet.
CAnd Pascal's response is so good—he said he's "not even trying to avoid spoilers." He was just correcting the record.
LI believe him. If he was lying, he'd have picked a better line. "It's good to see you again" is the most boring possible secret.
CUnless... it's not boring. Unless the person he says it to makes it devastating.
LOkay, so here's my theory. What if it's an older Tony Stark? A variant? And Reed knows him from some timeline we haven't seen?
COh, so now you're doing the fan theory thing you just mocked.
LI contain multitudes! And I'm right, by the way.
CHere's what I'll say: if that line hits the way they want it to, it'll be the quietest gut-punch in the movie.
LSpeaking of pop culture mysteries—Jack Lowden is now the leading contender on Polymarket to be the next James Bond.
CJack Lowden. The actor from Slow Horses, married to Saoirse Ronan.
LThat's the one. The prediction market has him ahead of the other names people always throw around—the Henry Cavills, the Aaron Taylor-Johnsons.
CI'd be genuinely excited about that. He's got that quiet, dangerous energy Bond needs.
LHe's also smart enough to do the wit. Bond's not just a brawler, he needs to sell the one-liners.
CThough I should say—prediction markets are people putting money on rumors. There's no official word from the Broccoli camp.
LBut the fact that his name is surging tells you something about what fans actually want. They're tired of the obvious picks.
CDifferent world entirely: Tate McRae's "Housewife" just debuted at number two on the official UK singles chart.
LNumber two, but it's her highest charting single yet. Ninth top ten hit overall.
CThe run she's on right now is wild. Every single lands bigger than the last.
LAnd "Housewife" has this slinky, weird production that shouldn't be a chart hit but is everywhere.
CI think people are responding to how specific her songwriting's getting. She's not singing pop-song-generic anymore.
LAgreed. She's found a voice. Now it's just a question of whether she takes that all the way to number one next time.
CAnd a shout-out to Julie Newmar, still with us at ninety-three.
LThe original Catwoman! There's a post going around about her being an inventor and a concert pianist.
CThe Catwoman part is real, obviously. The inventor and pianist stuff—that's unverified. I couldn't track down a solid source on it.
LHonestly, even if only half of it's true, she's had a fascinating life. Catwoman, real estate, maybe a patent or two—that's a full life.
CNinety-three and people are still discovering new things about her. There's something very cool about that.
