Ever since Marvel announced officially that the Fantastic Four would be joining the MCU sometime during this current phase, fans have had one main actor they wanted to play Reed Richards, John Krasinski.

Krasinski is a pure fan creation, and one that fans got to watch shredded like string cheese by a rampaging Wanda. So he shows up, has a half dozen lines, and dies. But what about the future? There are a few options here.

1) This was meant as a deconstruction of fan casting by getting Krasinski in there and immediately killing him as a kind of joke. But I doubt Marvel or Raimi is that mean-spirited. 2) To me, it seems unlikely that Krasinski would have taken this “gag” role, one that he’s expressed actual interest in before, without plans for him to return as another multiverse version of Reed, either 616 Reed or another one that makes the jump to that world.

3) The multiverse rules essentially allow for either option. Multiverse of Madness showed us that usually, the same person is the same character across the multiverse. The other Wandas are Elizabeth Olsen. The other Stranges are Benedict Cumberbatch. The other Christines are Rachel McAdams. We have at last two Patrick Stewart Charles Xaviers. So it does make sense that other Reed Richards, under this system, would be John Krasinski.

I know what I’m betting on, and that’s a future where Krasinski is Mr. Fantastic in a proper film. Other ideas, like Emily Blunt playing Sue Storm or Krasinski actually directing that film, which recently lost its director, may be another matter, but I’m pretty confident that at the very least, he’ll star.

His face is too wide and not long/thin enough to play Richards. Also, he really hammed it up in Multiverse of Madness. He didn't even really have that many lines, but he still managed to suck at saying them.

Underwhelmed by the portrayal.

I hope so, he’s our MCU Reed. He can be the director as well🙏🏻 FantasticFour

MarvelStudios MCU MCUラジオ 👌🏾👍🏾

And the person to play Dr. Doom?

Knowing Marvel He’ll probably resurface in another reality

He'd do a great job. JGL would too, though.

Rahul Kohli is still the best choice.

Speak for yourself when you say FANS. Maybe half or most fans but certainly not ALL fans. No offense. I think they should screen test Matthew Goode, Andrew Lincoln, Joseph Gordon levitt and maybe Eddie redmayne for the role before deciding if John is the one.

Those would be the fans who haven't watched his meh performance in Jack Ryan. Some people, like his wife, are leads, but he's not. I don't want to see the Fantastic Four movie ruined by its weakestLink.

You should had put spoiler alert at the beginning.
