Warning! SPOILERS for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
John Krasinski's Reed Richards is now officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, raising questions about whether or not he'll play Mister Fantastic in the MCU's Fantastic Four movie. Marvel Studios confirmed plans for a solo film centered around Marvel's First Family in 2019, but the MCU hasn't explicitly set up the project before. This potentially changed in a major way thanks to Doctor Strange 2 including John Krasinski as Mister Fantastic in a cameo.
The version of Reed Richards featured in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness comes through the film's Illuminati sequence. This Mister Fantastic is not part of the main MCU timeline — known as Earth-616 — but instead hails from Earth-838. He's one of the founding members of The Illuminati in this universe, joining variants of Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell), Captain Marvel (Lashana Lynch), Black Bolt (Anson Mount), and Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor). This marks the first official appearance of any member of the Fantastic Four in the MCU. However, John Krasinski's appearance through the multiverse doesn't solve the answer as to what Marvel Studios will do with the MCU's Fantastic Four movie casting.
