John Krasinski Responds To MCU Fantastic Four Movie Announcement
After Marvel Studios' announcement of the Fantastic Four movie, John Krasinski responds to questions about his possible MCU future. After re-acquiring the rights to Fox's Marvel characters, Marvel Studios was expected to reintroduce the First Family into their own franchise. Long before any official announcement has been made about the Fantastic Four revival in the MCU, Krasinski was already the fan-favorite to play Reed Richards, while his wife, Emily Blunt, was being petitioned as the next Sue Storm.
At San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, Marvel finally revealed that the Fantastic Four movie kicks off MCU Phase 6, confirming a release date of November 2024. No other details have been shared, however, despite rumors that a director and a full cast list were going to be unveiled. If anything, this only fuels people's campaign for Krasinski to be cast as MCU's Mr. Fantastic. After all, Marvel Studios has already established working ties with him when he played a variant of the character in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

He was also asked by host Jimmy Fallon about the Blunt's status as the potential Sue Storm, but he only responded by miming his death via blow-dart just as he was about to tell all.
