In the wake of the recently concluded SAG-AFTRA strike, there has been a new wave of reports regarding the cast for the MCU's upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. One of the most anticipated MCU movies that will finally bring Marvel's First Family into Marvel Studios' interconnected universe, an official cast announcement is likely due very soon. However, several outlets seem to have narrowed down what could very well be the official cast for one of the biggest upcoming Marvel movies.
Although Reed Richards' Mister Fantastic was played by John Krasinski in 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, this version was from an alternate reality and was subsequently murdered by the Scarlet Witch.
