Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, 'Fantastic Four' Cast Greet Fan Frenzy During Berlin Press Tour Stop

LONDON, JUL 09 – Pedro Pascal has publicly supported transgender rights and criticized JK Rowling’s gender-critical views while promoting a t-shirt campaign that raised tens of thousands of pounds for Trans Lifeline.

  • During the Berlin premiere, Pedro Pascal urged protecting trans people, calling JK Rowling a 'heinous loser' and emphasizing the community's bravery.
  • Prompted by the UK Supreme Court's ruling defining 'woman' by biological sex, Pascal's sister Lux's transgender identity inspired him to amplify support through fundraising and advocacy, highlighting ongoing legal and social debates.
  • Pascal’s support includes selling tens of thousands of pounds worth of 'Protect The Dolls' shirts and calling JK Rowling 'a heinous loser' in online trolls.
  • Following Pascal’s comment, he received praise from LGBTQ+ supporters but criticism from anti-trans groups, with Rowling replying, “Can’t say I feel very shut down but keep at it, Pedro.”
  • More broadly, Pascal's advocacy as a long-time trans rights supporter and future role in Avengers: Doomsday underscores his ongoing commitment to protecting vulnerable communities and influencing Hollywood's cultural landscape.
