Mickey is Having Kittens About This
Way more gossipy than is my usual want, but it is part of my beat.
Yeah, he was always holding hands with Gina Carrano.
If you look at the body language from the rest of the panel it’s obvious. This is not a casual friendship. And Mickey is not going to be cool about it. Husband and wife team, fine, but they aren’t married and probably aren’t going to be, and given Pascal’s dating history they aren’t going to be.
You know what comes after dating, break ups, that’s what comes after dating. At least for these two given their histories. Disney/Marvel’s contracts generally work on a 3/6 franchise model. Actors signed will have three main starring role obligations (in this case Pascal as Mister Fantastic and Kirby as Sue) and six supporting appearances in other MCU films, like Downey or Cumberbatch’s appearances in the recent Spiderman movies.
Here’s the big thing, they have to work together for ten years. What if they can’t stand to be on set at the same time let alone do a love scene? This is the origin of Mickey the Great and Terrible’s 4D rule; Disney Doesn’t Date Disney. Trust me, the Disney C-Suite is not happy about this.
