Before Driver, there were rumors that the role of Reed Richards had been offered to John Krasinski and Penn Badgley. Krasinski, who is best known for his role in The Office, even appeared as a variant of Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. But the latest reports suggest that Driver will be taking over the role for the future of the franchise.
Meanwhile, rumors are also circulating that Margot Robbie has been offered the role of Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, who is the wife of Reed Richards. Robbie is one of the biggest A-listers in Hollywood these days, having played Harley Quinn in three DC films. If the rumors are true, this would be her first appearance in the MCU. Fans of the franchise will have to wait a little longer for official announcements, but the news of Adam Driver’s casting as Reed Richards is a promising sign for the future of the Fantastic Four in the MCU.
