Pedro Pascal took his sisters Lux Pascal and Javiera Balmaceda to the world premiere of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" in Downtown Los Angeles on Monday night.

Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal star as married couple Reed Richards and Sue Storm in 'The Fantastic Four: The First Steps.' The duo reveal their characters' wedding song and how they grew close amid filming the latest Marvel film.

Marvel’s First Family — as embodied by the quartet of stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach — was in attendance at the world premiere for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, held at Los Angeles’ Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on Monday.
