Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness took fans on a radical trip across multiple realities, giving fans their first look at a live-action Reed Richards since Miles Teller’s performance in Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four in 2015. In the Doctor Strange sequel, John Krasinski appeared as the beloved character, much to the delight of fan-casters everywhere. As it turns out, however, Krasinski wasn’t Marvel’s first choice to play the patriarch of Marvel’s First Family. In fact, another Hollywood A-lister was first expected to play the role.
Fun fact, Krasinski wasn’t the first choice, the actor originally set to play the role was all set to shoot but when there was an uptick in COVID cases, he backed out as he was living in London and didn’t think the quick shoot wasn’t worth risk of bringing back COVID to the fam pic.twitter.com/sD9nT0omki
