Fortunately, TheFantastic Fourmovie has already found its writersand is moving forward, and many hope Krasinski will officially be named the MCU’s Mr. Fantastic. Even Blunt went on to even express interest in Krasinski returning to the role. “I hope so. I hope so,” Blunt said during an interview withHeyUGuyswhen asked if Kransinki would be inFantastic Four. “You never know. I was really happy for him because I think he’s a huge fan. And I understand why it’s such an ardent passionate religion for people. It’s a huge part of our cinematic history now. So he was thrilled.”
Even though Blunt has made it clear that she’s not interested in being Sue Storm, it’s very cool that she’s very supportive of John Krasinksi’s role in the MCU world. Many people are hopeful of seeing the return of Krasinski’s Reed Richards, but right now everything is up in the air. There’s no telling who the cast will be despite all the recent rumours, andnow thatFantastic Fouris delayed, it will probably be a while before casting is announced. Fans will just have to trust in Kevin Feige and the incredible casting team at Marvel Studios.
Now that several MCU films are being pushed back, fans are hopeful that the VFX quality will look a lot better and that theMarvel Studios VFX artistswill no longer be overworked as they have with the recent releases. Many fans have been very vocal about their disappointment, so here’s hoping that the climate gets back to a much more celebratory space.
Fantastic Fouris scheduled to be released in theaters on February 14th, 2025.
