Meanwhile, fans quickly speculated that the supposed film would be about the Fantastic Four, which is due to be announced soon. In this case, the public’s great desire is due to the actor’s physical similarity to the comic book version of Mr. Fantastic – alter ego of Reed Richards, leader of the series group. Even moments after the rumor was released, the hashtag #ReedRichards was featured on Twitter’s trending topics. Couple at MCU? It is worth noting that Krasinski has already shown interest in being part of the MCU on some occasions. In February, he commented that it would be incredible to be on a studio project and recalled the support received by the public on the subject. In March, he reinforced his statement, saying that he would love to be in this universe of comics.
