Robert Downey Jr. and Pedro Pascal Swap Places for Halloween With Mister Fantastic and Doctor Doom Costumes
Halloween had no shortage of viral costumes, but Robert Downey Jr. and Pedro Pascal might have taken the crown by swapping places as Mister Fantastic and Doctor Doom.
Halloween costumes garnered plenty of attention this year, but Robert Downey Jr. and Pedro Pascal may have set a new standard by swapping places as Mister Fantastic and Doctor Doom. Downey Jr. shared a video of the duo dressed as their characters for Avengers: Doomsday, flipping the script by donning Reed Richards' iconic blue outfit while Pascal sported Doom's signature metal mask.
Pascal, meanwhile, opted for more casual attire, donning jeans and a sweatshirt. The duo's effort appears to have paid off, as their swapped costumes still manage to capture attention. Downey's video is embedded below. This Halloween duo certainly stands out, even if the Doctor Doom costume proved a bit more difficult to find a convincing alternative for.
With Doomsday just around the corner, we can expect many stars to share their Halloween costumes on social media. However, this swap was more than a mere marketing gimmick. Downey and Pascal took the time to mingle with trick-or-treaters, with Pascal posting a video on Instagram of them strolling through the crowd, and an X/Twitter user sharing pictures of Downey and two children greeting them in full Star Wars attire.
One child even dressed up as Pascal's character, the Mandalorian, prompting Downey to joke about inviting them to meet the real Mandalorian. Robert Downey Jr. and Pedro Pascal showcased their Halloween costumes as Doctor Doom and Mister Fantastic.
