Sam Raimi Sheds Light On John Krasinski's Appearance In Multiverse of Madness
Director Sam Raimi has shed some light on the decision to cast John Krasinski as Reed Richards for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, leaving those who created the fan-casting to worry about his future with the MCU.
When Doctor Strange 2 featured Krasinski as Reed Richards, fans wondered if this meant he would play the role in Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four film. Others, however, felt it was possible that this small role was merely a nod to the fans who have long wanted to see Krasinski play the role.

During the audio commentary for Doctor Strange 2, Raimi discussed the fact that so many fans wanted to see Krasinski in that role, which Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige really took to heart. «It’s so funny that Kevin [Feige] cast John [Krasinski] because the fans had a dream of who the perfect Reed Richards would be,» he shared. «And because this is an alternate universe, I think Kevin said, ‘Let’s make that dream come true.’ I’ve always really enjoyed all of his performances.»
Fans have taken Raimi's wording and questioned whether Krasinski was a serious consideration for the role, or if they just wanted to provide fan service.
