The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter), showcases actors Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn attempting to fit into a selfie. In a playful nod to Pascal’s character, Mr. Fantastic, he stretches his hand to capture the entire group, delighting viewers and promoting the film’s streaming debut on Disney+.
