Gruffuff, who played Reed Richards in the 2005 'Fantastic Four,' said he doesn't know why the scene was scrapped

Long before Pedro Pascal stretched his limbs as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in “Fantastic Four: The First Steps,” it was Ioan Gruffudd who led Marvel’s first family in 2005’s “Fantastic Four” and 2007’s “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing $333.5 million globally. It was followed by a sequel titled Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, which was released in 2007. Despite its success, a third installment was canceled and a reboot was ordered.
