The MCU is vey concerned John Krasinki is 6'3" tall. Chris Evans is actually 6’2” to Hemsworth’s 6’3” and that’s okay because Steve Rogers is a super soldier who’s almost as worthy as Thor. Mere mortals in the MCU like Stark, Stephen Strange, or Scott Lang should be shorter and are. Krasinski is not only as tall as Hemsworth, he’s a big guy, and I’m not sure you can hide that. Now, a Xandarian, who inherits the mantle of a supreme protector, on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Krasinski would be a perfect Mr. Fantastic. Jim from The Office is a 1-dimensional/single-facet piece of his acting chops - not to be used to determine his entire ability to act. I am 100% confident that he would do the character justice. Whose to say that they don't CGI him as a wimp, and after his powers, he keeps his body sculpted because he can and doesn't want to continue looking like a physical pushover...? He's a Grade-A choice for this role. Something something something hypocrisy of hating an actor in a role before a movie is released? media_junkie and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Marvel Studios makes the Fantastic Four and Reed Richards more explorers than scientists, then maybe I can see John Krasinski as Reed a little better. I'm sure Sue Storm will also be a science genius in the MCU version. Either way, I just don't see tortured science genius egghead when I look at Krasinski. He seems more comfortable with humor and action. Even as Jim Halpert, he was better at hitting on Pam and playing pranks on Dwight than actually doing accounts on a computer screen. But what if Emily Blunt is cast as Clea in the Doctor Strange sequel? Would fan dudes then clamor for a J. Krasinski Reed Richards as hard? It seems everyone wants them as some kind of marriage package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krasinski is a perfect casting choice regardless of Blunt's inclusion. He's a better fit for Richards than she is for Sue Storm.

It's basically ignoring everything Krasinki's done in the last decade, including Promised Land (mediocre anti-fracking movie w/ Matt Damon - but which Krasinski also co-wrote), 13 Hours, A Quiet Place (which he also co-wrote and directed), and Jack Ryan. Discounting him for once playing Jim in The Office is like discounting Woody Harrelson because he once starred as Woody on Cheers.

@therealsilvermane Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) I posted earlier I didn’t know who I thought could play a better Reed Richards. Well, going down the list of maybe available and popular leading actors...how about Luke Evans? He can act, he’s a Disney veteran, he’s actually younger than Jim from the Office, and he’s only 6.0’ tall.

@therealsilvermane Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 And here’s another Luke Evans scene with Emily Blunt herself (ha ha)... So after watching a few clips of Luke Evans (who I admit I’m not that familiar with) I’m throwing Luke Evans into the ring as my official Reed Richards fan cast.
