John Krasinski Plays Coy About Doctor Strange 2 With Funny Tweets

While Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four is still some time away from going into production, the team showed its first signs of life in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This came through with one of the biggest casting reveals in MCU history as John Krasinski became the franchise’s first version of Reed Richards in grand fashion.

Coming in as part of Earth-838’s Illuminati, Krasinski only had a few minutes on screen as the “smartest man alive,” but he made the most of it with his portrayal of the Fantastic Four’s leading hero in the MCU. With both Krasinski and fans having wanted him in this role since Marvel Studios took over the rights for Marvel’s First Family, his introduction instantly became one of Doctor Strange 2’s most memorable moments.

Due to the intense secrecy surrounding the MCU's 28th film, particularly with a reveal as big as the Illuminati, Krasinski had to remain extra silent about his casting since he came on set with Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen. Now, nearly two full weeks after the movie's impressive debut, the megastar has finally taken to social media to address his casting for the first time.

Marvel Studios rookie John Krasinksi took to Twitter to joke about his appearance as Reed Richards in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The actor noted how he had just gotten home and wanted a movie to watch, playing coy by asking his followers for any suggestions for what to see:

"Alright! Just wrapped! Finally back in town and headed straight out to the movies!… anything I need to see?"

One fan recommended Doctor Strange 2, to which Krasinski slyly replied "Fantastic," tying back to his casting as Mr. Fantastic in the sequel.
