Before the trailer launch, Pascal was seen shaking hands with fans when he was asked what he wanted the fans to take away from this trailer.
‘I just want them to love it,’ Pascal said, as the crowd of Marvel fans around him applauded.
He later added, ‘I haven’t had an experience in a cast as intimately as this one, where it felt like a family.’
‘The anxiety I felt saying goodbye to them each day, wondering when will I see them next,’ he added of the cast.
‘So to share that with everybody, because we put our hearts and souls and bodies into this thing, as did our entire crew and our director, it’s just our hearts, and to get to the day we get to start sharing it with everybody, and making you all a part of that, is really an exciting and special thing,’ he said to applause before they showcased the trailer.
The film follows the тιтle characters as they must protect Earth from the nefarious villain known as Galactus.
The film is set in what Marvel describes as, ‘a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world,’ a nod to the comics origins.
The comics – created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby – debuted in 1961 in what was known as the Silver Age of comics.
