With Marvel rolling out its fourth phase, there’s a lot of things fans want to see. One is the Fantastic Four brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Disney’s acquisition of Fox, the large company acquired the rights of X-Men and Fantastic Four. Which, means the chance of seeing some of the most well-known mutants interact with the Avengers is possible and getting closer.
Right now, Ryan Reynolds is the only one keeping his role from the old Fox X-Men days. Which, means we’ll need new actors for these parts. Who will play some of the most iconic characters? Better yet, who will direct these movies.
Fans have already fan-cast John Krasinski as Reeds Richards in the MCU, but what does the actor/director think? In a recent interview with Comicbook.com, Krasinski expressed his excitement at the prospect of portraying Mr. Fantastic:
Chris Killian: I’m with ComicBook.com, so I have to ask nerdy questions.
John Krasinski: Please.
CK: So I’m sorry in advance. I know you can’t answer if you’re going to play Mister Fantastic, but you have to play Mister Fantastic, right?
John Krasinski: Oh my God, that’s the best… That’s the best question-answer ever.
They’re drawing you as Reed now in the comic books, which is like Sam Jackson 101.
John Krasinski: What?
Yeah. You look like Reed Richards now.
John Krasinski: Do I?
Yeah.
John Krasinski: Can we get that on poster signs?
At this point, you just have to be Reed Richards.
John Krasinski: I would love to do it. I think to be a part of the Marvel world would be amazing anyway, and the fact that people would even consider me for that level of a part would be amazing. I genuinely have had no conversations or don’t know anything that’s happening with that. I’m awaiting Kevin’s announcements of what the hell’s happening with that as much as you are.
Would you want to see John Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic?
A girl with too many fandoms to count.
