Don't trust WGTC. They provide very little sourcing for their "news" and one story they published was debunked by Guillermo del Toro. Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and Deadline.com are the most reliable sources for entertainment industry news.

Not a fan of A Quiet Place I take it? I like them. Just find it a boring choice they'll probably regret.

Didn't Krasinki say he wanted to play Reed Richards? I know Emily Blunt passed on Black Widow.

Why? If they want it, it's not a bad deal. I sort of feel sorry for all the actors who signed for Marvel movies not in the MCU. Doubt they realized it wasnt the same thing It also looks like they are pulling back from the 3 per year they were doing.

Why is it a boring choice? and why the regret? merh I feel they are now too old to join the mostly younger new generation characters in the next phase of Marvel films and it would become stale and goofy with them playing these hero characters for possibly 3 sequels plus spinoff films over the next decade. I think Marvel should go a little younger than them in casting. Plus doing these films together multiple times, always being together, might hurt their marriage in some way.

I don't know. Reed Richards is meant to be middle-aged.

RDJ was 43 when Iron Man came out Reed Richards is on the same age scale so Krasinski is in line. Benedict Cumberbatch was 40 when Dr Strange was released. Blunt may be a bit on the high end of the usual 20-something paired with an older male star, but Angelina Jolie is 44 Tilda Swinton is 6 months younger than I am? Oh hell. She was 55 when Dr Strange came out? Rachel McAdams was around 37? Damn. So Marvel has played with younger & older actors. Swinton-1960 RDJ-1965 Bautista, Rudd-1969 Paltrow-1972 Jolie-1975 Boseman-1976 or 77 Saldana, Cooper-1978 Pratt-1979 Hiddleston, Portman, Evans-all born 1981 Atwell, Stan-1982 Hemsworth-1983 Basically they are all over the age range

The thing I think that would hold this back is same reason I don't imagine they are going to cast high end established talent when they finally get to X-Men, they aren't 1 or 2 people films, these are groups which should get fairly equal treatment in terms of importance to the movies, and Blunt's commanding high 7 to low 8 figures as it is, and it's not like Blunt who I the bigger star of the two is a draw, her biggest movies did mid phase 1 money at best, and then possibly need to match her 8 figures for the other 3 F4 members as well.
Plus do they seem the sort to want to get saddled with a 10 year multi film contract which will take over their lives? I could see them getting tired of F4 questions when they are trying to promote A Quiet Place 2.
Also does it work storywise? like Reed is one of the smartest men in the Marvel universe, so having a guy on a Tony & Banner level or higher mind wise who has never been mentioned or seen but old enough to be a respected expert would seem a bit odd imo, similar to how they had to handle Spidey joining the MCU, due to it's established history you need to establish these characters differently to the comics, Fan4stic sucked but a younger team wasn't the worst idea, you could do it again but slightly differently obviously.

Let's just assume the intro of the f4 is not going to be an issue for Marvel. You do raise a good point, I suspect that Marvel's F4 will be highly popular and there will be huge plans for them spanning many films. With that in mind, yeah it would be a massive commitment from both Krasinski and Blunt. Also both would want to do their own thing after a couple of films (especially after a quiet place and making a name for himself), possibly even retirement or leave the industry. Yes the salary is an issue too. On the other hand, it really depends on how much they wana work. Can they maintain side projects, other films as well as the mcu?

They're both brilliant choices in my opinion.
I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel Studios hires them.

Unless they do some sort of multiverse thing. Something like maybe the multiverse of madness resulting in some inhabitants of different realities being shifted? Or simply with Stark out of the way, Richards finally gets some attention. Stark is pretty flashy. Or maybe Richards had been a government grunt. All his work would be hushed up in that case. They can make it work

They can make it work Multiverse is the only way that makes sense to me as yeah Reed could be an unknown to the normal populace but a genius of his level would be somewhat known in the higher scientific circles and especially by the likes of Tony, Banner and Pym all of whom have access or had access to top secret intel, so a guy like Reed working in the shadows wouldn't leave him unknown to them, and his brilliance would have been noticed by now.
Only other thing would be a happy medium which the 5 year jump in Endgame does allow for, Reed and them aren't kids but they aren't fully established in their worlds yet, Reed could have been one of the kids at Tony's B.A.R.F seminar in Civil War, so he's in his mid to late 20's character wise or something.
I say this because we saw how butthurt so many people got over Spidey not being a leader in the MCU from the second he showed up, but introducing a new character into the universe and pretending they have been around the entire time is kind of ridiculous, but if you introduce a near 40 or by that point a 40+ year old Reed and a 40 year old Sue to the continuity and say oh yeah they have been working as lab techs for Shield and no one ever noticed Reed's actually way smarter than even Tony, I think that would get some heat with the fans.

There is an interview with Krasinski in the latest issue of Empire. He and his wife haven't been approached but he says he loves the MCU films,and said "if they are considering me for Mr Fantastic, continue to consider me because I would love it."

He made it to the final set of auditions/screen test for Captain America. He even got fitted for the suit, but was beat out by Chris obviously.

I really only know John Krasinski as Jim Halpert from "The Office". I'm interested to see how he'll portray Mr. Fantastic.
