The news of John Krasinski’s rumored replacement as Reed Richards in Fantastic Four surprised Elizabeth Olsen. Many fans were excited to see Krasinski in the role, but after his character’s demise in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, speculations arose about his return or recasting. Rumors now suggest that Adam Driver is the leading candidate for the role.

Elizabeth Olsen Learns About Adam Driver’s Casting Rumors:

During an interview with Josh Horowitz on Happy Sad Confused, Elizabeth Olsen, known for her role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, shared her reaction to the rumors surrounding Adam Driver’s potential casting as Reed Richards. Horowitz mentioned the rumor and Olsen expressed her surprise, questioning what it meant for Krasinski’s character in the multiverse context. Horowitz clarified that in the multiverse, anyone could play the role, to which Olsen responded with enthusiasm.

Discussion on Adam Driver’s Commitment:

The conversation shifted to considering Adam Driver’s potential commitment to the MCU, and Olsen wondered how many movies he would be willing to do, drawing a connection to whether he has children. This inquiry likely stems from actors taking on superhero roles for various reasons, such as pleasing their kids or securing financial stability.

The Question of Adam Driver’s Involvement:

Horowitz raised a valid question about whether Driver, having already played a major role in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, would be interested in joining another massive franchise. Olsen shared her perspective based on her experience, stating that if an actor commits to Marvel Studios for one film and wishes to return, they now have more creative control over their character’s future. Marvel Studios no longer imposes long-term contracts, allowing actors greater negotiating power for subsequent appearances.
