The upcoming Fantastic Four movie of the MCU is the one fans have been waiting for. And there’s heavy theorizing about who will ultimately step into the role of Reed Richards. Now, it looks like we have a contender for the position. Rumours say that a Star Wars actor is running for the role.

Who Is Stepping In As MCU’s Reed Richards? 

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness gave fans of The Fantastic Four everything they wanted. Fan favourite John Krasinski finally stepped into the role of Reed Richards of Earth-838 and made everyone’s dreams come true. However, we all know that his demise was quick at the hands of Wanda in the movie.

After that, there has been unending speculation about the actor who will finally step in as Mr Fantastic for the upcoming MCU F4 movie. Recently, there’s a rumour doing the rounds that Disney+ Star Wars: Andor series’ Diego Luna is running for the role.

Twitter scooper CanWeGetToast disclosed the matter by tweeting out:

“Here’s one of them 😌 #FantasticFour” referring to Diego Luna.

Can John Krasinski Return As Reed Richard In The Fantastic Four Movie? 

There’s still a possibility that Marvel Studios will go forward with John Krasinski as the smartest man in the Marvel universe, as there have been plenty of rumours hinting at that. But it’s also possible that wildcards like Diego Luna could take away the role.

In the end, it needs to be kept in mind that no matter the rumour you choose to believe, it’s clear that Marvel Studios hasn’t decided for now. So John Krasinski, Diego Luna, and others may be all just names in a bigger list. It remains to be seen who snatches the coveted role.

Stay tuned for more updates.
