Fantastic Four: All 4 Mr. Fantastic actors ranked from worst to best

1. John Krasinski

When the rumors about the Illuminati showing up in the sequel to Doctor Strange started, there were a lot of questions. Not just over who would be in the Illuminati, but who would be playing the titular characters that at one point were so important to the printed version of the Marvel Universe.

When the rumors started spinning that the dream casting of John Krasinski as Reed Richards started making its rounds there were a lot of people who were very excited, myself included. Then when he came out of a portal to sit at the tribunal of Steven Strange, it was like everything clicked.

Krasinski’s mannerisms, his gentle authority, and the way he was the smartest man alive but never spoke down to anyone. Even before his demise at the hands of Wanda, we got to see him trying to save her without force. Using empathy for their plight before having to resort to force. As of this publishing, there is no telling who will play Reed in the next installment of the Fantastic Four but for my money, John Krasinski IS Mr. Fantastic.
