"Fantastic Four: First Steps" Has Reed Richards to Pedro Pascal, who shows his superpowersMaking the fifth actor who showed Marvel's favorite control scientist in live action. Unfortunately, the casting of the Mandalorian Starvala as Mr Fantastic means we will not see Johnon Krasinski sinking his teeth in the character a few more after his coming fast "Doctor strange to Sam Raimi in the madness of the madness" - And there are several reasons for his omission.

First of all, he is dead. Krasinski's Reed Richards is a quick victim of Wanda Maksimoff (Elizabeth Olsen) in the blink of Raimi because she uses her magic to destroy it during an exchange with Illuminati. The scene in question is how powerful Scarlett witch is, and she makes Mr -Din Fantastic look more for one -time use than yesterday's newspaper.

However, that version of Richards is totally different from the scientist we will meet in "Fantastic Four: First Steps". Marvel has bigger and better plans for the character this time, and Krasinski does not seem to be a factor in them.

Marvel's Chinese Universe has opened the doors to the multivisional crippling for a long time, allowing Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to join other spiders and Wesley Snaps blade to cross the Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) tracks. Theoretically, a bunch of actors can be thrown because all kinds of variants of the Reed Richards, which seems to be a direction in which the franchise is taking place, as Pedro Pascal's eagerness of the noble leader of a fantastic four is different from the Johnon Krasinski version.

Richards, who was killed in "Doctor Strange in the Multiversity of Madness", is from the Earth-838, so he exists in a different plane from the boy we meet in a "fantastic four: first steps". Similarly, Pascal's character exists outside the country's main timeframe-616 in a retro-futuristic universe, which is modeled after New York City in the 1960s, so fans can expect a whole new image.

Of course, there is no reason why Krasinski cannot show another variant of cane and coexist along with Pascal's interpretation of the stretcher scientist down. However, he is probably out of the question at the moment, as the "quiet place" actor was only attracted to Marvel to please fans on the Internet.

The short arrival of Johnon Krasinski in Marvel's Chinese universe can be interpreted as a joke. When Marvel announced that a fantastic quadruple was set to join his cinema universe, there were calls for the studio to throw Krasinski as Reed Richards by some of the more social online members. Kevin Jegie heard these pleas and responded appropriately ... Although it can be argued that the rapid death of Mr -Din Fantastic is not the outcome they expected after Marvel's boss made his dreams.

Sam Raimi confirmed that this is the reason for Krasinski's dumping at "Dr. Stringed in the Multiversity of Madness" during the director's comment (through Tedrtrten). In his own words:

"It's so funny that Kevin threw Johnon because fans dreamed of who would be the perfect hill Richards. And because this is an alternative universe, I think Kevin said," Let's make that dream come true. "

While there are many fans there who would like to see the "Office" Starwar playing Mr -Din Fantastic in current capacity, there is Other actors are probably more suitable for playing Reed Richards Long -term. Pascal is an interesting choice for the role, and Krasinski has no beef with Marvel to replace him.

Kon Krasinski was more than ready to jump into the Chinese Universe Marvel after receiving the call from Kevin Jegie, though he knew his exit would be short -lived. While he would appreciate the better sending for Reed Richards, he is still fooled to play a small role in Marvel's cosmic field. The actor opened for experience during the 2022 press event for "Jackec Ryan", attended by The wrapperNoting that "a doctor strange in the multivisional madness" appealed to the fan in it:

"It's totally crazy. Being in a room with all those people, and again being part of that narrative is crazy. But yes, turning into spaghetti was not my ultimate goal in life as it goes to the Marvel universe, but you know what was fun."

The good thing about this franchise is that no character should remain dead forever. Moreover, Jegie has shown that he is ready to return famous people to new roles, confirmed by Robert Downey Runior playing Doctor Doom after 10-plus years to be Iron Man. Maybe - just maybe - Krasinski's Marvel Legacy will eventually be more than playing the guy who turned pasta than Scarlett Witch. For the time being, however, it is better than nothing.
