There is a lot of speculation over whether we’ll see Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but will he appear or is it pure speculation?

There are a lot of characters Marvel fans have been dying to see appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While the MCU has introduced audiences to dozens of characters pulled from the pages of Marvel Comics over the course of its vast catalog of movies and shows, there are still many more sitting in the wings waiting for their chance to shine.

Among those waiting to make their way to the MCU are characters from two of Marvel’s most iconic franchises: the X-Men and Fantastic Four.

While it looked like we’d never see characters from the two franchises in the MCU, that all changed when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox which restored ownership of the two franchises to Marvel. Following the move, fans have been counting down the days until characters from the franchises would arrive in the MCU.

There are a lot of characters from the two franchises fans have been hoping to see, including the Fantastic Four’s faithful leader Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic. Fans have been longing to see the character appear in the MCU, frequently theorizing about when he could pop up with the release of each new MCU project. So could his debut finally be coming in Multiverse of Madness?
