Marvel: John Krasinski May Not Return As Reed Richards In Fantastic Four

Fantastic Four is one of the most awaited films by fans of the Marvelbut perhaps Reed Richards from John Krasinski may not be included in the team. The information comes from Sam Raimiwho commanded Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) film that brought Richards’ first appearance.

It’s funny that Kevin Feige [chefe do Marvel Studios] cast John, because fans have always had a dream of who would be the perfect Reed Richards. So, because this is an alternate universe, Kevin thought it was a good opportunity to make that dream come true.

To see Krasinski on the skin of Mr. Fantastic got fans excited, however, it looks like the version of Richards is just one of thousands of superhero variants in the MCU. As the Loki series showed, the multiverse can contain very different versions of the same person – even varying in appearance, gender or species.

So far, you can’t set anything in stone. However, the director’s comment Sam Raimi can anticipate that the return of Krasinski is not in the plans Marvel. According to the filmmaker, the casting of the actor to play the leader of the Fantastic Four it was just a way of playing with the fans.

Jordan, Miles Teller and Jamie Bell.
