After his Doctor Strange 2 cameo as Reed Richards, John Krasinski addresses if there are plans for him to return in FantasticFour or another MCU project 'There aren’t any discussions at all... to play in that sandbox for one day was a real thrill.'

John Krasinski confirms he has had no additional discussions with Marvel Studios about playing Reed Richards again in Fantastic 4 after his Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness cameo. After emerging as the heavy fan-favorite to play Mister Fantastic in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the growing demand led to the former The Office star joining the franchise through the multiverse. John Krasinski played Reed Richards from Earth-838 as part of Doctor Strange 2's Illuminati team.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In the time since John Krasinski's Reed Richards debut, the possibility of him retaining the role in the MCU became more controversial within the fandom. Krasinski is now busy promoting Jack Ryan season 3, and he addressed his potential MCU return during a recent press event with The Wrap.

There aren’t any discussions at all, the only discussion I had was actually in the second-to-last week of Jack Ryan. Kevin Feige called and said would you ever fly to L.A. and play in our sandbox for a day? I was honored to do it. I flew right from Budapest when we wrapped and went right to the ‘Doctor Strange’ set. I’m a big fan of all those characters and that world, so to get to play in that sandbox for one day was a real thrill.

As more time passes, it becomes more clear that John Krasinski's Reed Richards cameo was merely a chance for Marvel Studios to pay off the fan-casting but without committing to him as the MCU's main Mister Fantastic actor. Kevin Feige can now say that he gave audiences a glimpse of what fans wanted while still being able to find someone else to play the role for years to come. Whether Marvel ever seriously considered using Krasinski as the MCU's Reed Richards is unknown.

How John Krasinski’s Mister Fantastic Can Still Return There might not be plans for John Krasinski's Mister Fantastic to return, but that does not mean audiences will never see him again. The multiverse nature of Marvel's current trajectory opens the door for Krasinski to return, even though Scarlet Witch killed the Earth-838's Reed. The comics have a multiversal Council of Reeds that another variant played by Krasinski could be part of.
