Is John Krasinski Going to Be *Our* Reed Richards?
Even before Disney acquired Fox, giving the company the movie rights back to Fantastic Four, fans had cast The Office’s John Krasinski as Reed Richards in their minds. So that Marvel agreed and actually put him into the role with a movie on the way, it’s a super fun surprise.
This Reed Richards dies, though. So the question becomes, now that we’ve seen John Krasinski as Reed Richards, and considering all other versions of characters look exactly the same across the Multiverse, will John Krasinski return for the Fantastic Four movie? Officially, Disney would not offer a comment. But unofficially, if we had to guess, we’d say yes. It would be unnecessarily confusing in later years to rewatch this film and a Fantastic Four film and the role be played by different actors. Not that it is impossible (see War Machine and Hulk) but if it can be avoided, it usually is.
