Why is John Krasinski Not Mr Fantastic?

John Krasinski and Mr. Fantastic have been talked about for a long time. Before Marvel Studios even had the rights to the Fantastic Four, fans really wanted Krasinski, known from The Office, to play Mr. Fantastic. They even imagined Krasinski’s wife, Emily Blunt, as Susan Storm. Fans finally got a taste of this in Multiverse of Madness.

In the movie, Doctor Strange and America Chavez travel to Earth-838 and meet a group called the Illuminati. This group includes versions of Black Bolt, Peggy Carter, Charles Xavier, Captain Marvel, Baron Mordo, and Reed Richards. They capture Doctor Strange because they think he’s a threat.

The Illuminati, especially Mr. Fantastic, end up facing terrible fates thanks to the Scarlet Witch. Mr. Fantastic gets turned into spaghetti! Even though this made people think Krasinski might come back for a real Fantastic Four movie, that’s not going to happen.

The truth is that there were never serious talks about Krasinski continuing as Mr. Fantastic. He mentioned in 2022 that there weren’t any real discussions, just a brief chat towards the end of Jack Ryan. Krasinski might not have wanted a long-term commitment, or Marvel might have other plans. Fans did get to see his version of the character in Multiverse of Madness, though. So, John Krasinski won’t be playing Mr. Fantastic in the upcoming Fantastic Four film. Fantastic Four will be in theaters on July 25, 2025.

Is John Krasinski in Fantastic 4?

No, John Krasinski will not be in Fantastic Four. Another actor has been chosen for the role of Mister Fantastic. Even though there’s a Multiverse in Marvel, making it possible for Krasinski to come back, it’s very unlikely. Marvel Studios might not have planned for him to stay in the role for the long term. Krasinski has also been very busy with directing and other projects. He has directed movies like A Quiet Place and its sequel, and he’s working on other films too. So, he probably won’t be in Fantastic Four.
