If you have already seen Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, you were surely excited to see actor John Krasinski making an important cameo as Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic, in his debut in the MCU.

Actors John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are fan favorites to play Reed Richards and Sue Storm, but in Krasinski’s case, the star of A Quiet Place has the thumbs up from Alex Hyde-White, the actor he portrayed for first time in live-action version to Mr. Fantastic.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Alex Hyde-White expressed his pleasure at seeing Krasinski as Reed Richards, the leader of the Fantastic Four, now in the MCU.
“Well, that’s not a surprise. It has long been rumored (to John Krasinski). It’s exciting! He has proven to be a great storyteller and as a lead actor, producer and director. Krasinski is a force to be reckoned with because he loves to tell stories and he is a good leader. Those are the characteristics of Reed Richards”.
Hyde-White sent a message to Krasinski and the directors of Marvel Studios, now that The House of Ideas has the launch of Fantastic Four in its plans.
“If I were to submit a casting spec for Reed Richards, it would say (must be) “Excellent leader, control freak, but nice about it. Contributor willing to take the blame,” (something) which I felt was the psychological currency of our Fantastic four . We deal with the motivations of the characters.
From the canceled movie to the MCU, the path of the Fantastic Four
Over two decades, The Fantastic Four went to the cinema three times, the first in a 1994 film, directed by Oley Sassone, which, weeks after its premiere, it was decided to destroy the negatives. But some copies found their way to video stores and the internet, making it a cult movie. This movie can be seen on youtube.
20th Century Fox produced the 2005 Fantastic Four, and the 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, both directed by Tim Story, both of which received mixed reviews, but plans for a third part were shelved.
In 2015, filmmaker Josh Trank directed the reboot of this team in a film that passed with more pain than glory in theaters, whose sequel was immediately cancelled.
