Fans were excited when they saw John Krasinki as Reed Richards in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Though it was for a brief period seeing John as Reed Richards made the viewers fall in love with him. In addition, Marvel will be looking to portray the role of Reed Richards’ character in the movie “The Fantastic Four.” For now, there are rumors regarding the choice of casting in the Marvel movie. This article will break all these rumors regarding the Reed Richards Recasting. Fans are suggested not to get too excited about this. So, without any further ado, let’s get started.
Who is being recast as Reed Richards?
Fans are worried about the recasting. They want someone best to portray their beloved character Reed Richards. Penn Badgley, who is famous for portraying the character of “Dan Humphrey” in Gossip Girl and “Joe Goldberg” in the very famous series “You,” is in the rumor of playing the role of “Reed.” This character was played by two actors already. “Miles Teller” and “Ioan Gruffudd” both portrayed the role of this sketchy genius before.
Sam Raimi, director of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, had claimed that fans wanted their Reed Richards to be perfect. He gave them the perfect Richards by casting John Krasinki for it. The reason that he gave the perfect Reed Richards is that it was an alternative universe. It is not late, and fans are hoping that the plan of casting someone like Reed Richards will change. Fans have seen John as Reed. It would be tough to see some non-Krasinki doing the role of Reed Richards.
Another rumor came flying, taking the news about the casting of of the hero. Andrew Lincoln, last seen in “The Walking Dead,” could join the MCU family. Fans are praying and hoping that he should not join the family as their beloved character. It’s high time that the director would realize that the alternate universe can become the actual universe if he wants to.
Other Casting of the Movie
Now that the fans have enough information about the casting of one character. Let’s move on to the casting of other characters as well. For the character of “Sue Storm,” casters have Melissa Benoist and Natalia Dyer in mind. Jharrel Jerome was also seen in the list of the cast. The reason is yet unknown.

Rumors are that “Simon Baker,” last seen in “The Mentalist,” is up for the role.
