Doctor Strange 2 is a major upcoming Marvel movie. Through this movie, the MCU fully embraces the concept of the multiverse. It has already been hinted at in Spider-Man: No Way Home. In the movie, we saw three different versions of Spider-Man. In the upcoming movie too, we will get to see variants of Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff. Also, the movie will include characters from the different realities of the Marvel universes.
One of the rumored characters in Doctor Strange 2 is Mr. Fantastic, played by John Krasinski. Also, a recent leak hinted that he is in the movie. So, was Emily BLunt lying when she denied her husband being cast for the role.
Emily Blunt’s statement about John Krasinski playing Mr. Fantastic
In an interview on “The Howard Stern Show,” Emily Blunt had dismissed the rumors of her and John Krasinki being in a Marvel movie. This was in May 2021, after the announcement of Marvel making a new Fantastic Four movie. Fans also wanted the two to play the role of Sue Storm and Richard Reeds. But the actress denied it on the show, saying, “That is fan-casting. No one has received a phone call. That’s just people saying, ‘Wouldn’t that be great?'”
She reasoned her statement by saying, “I love Iron Man and when I got offered Black Widow I was obsessed with Iron Man. I wanted to work with Robert Downey Jr. It would’ve been amazing. But I don’t know if superhero movies are for me. They’re not up to my alley. I don’t like them. I really don’t.”
A recent leak claims John Krasinski is playing Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange 2
A new leaked scene from Doctor Strange 2 seems to confirm that John Krasinski is in the movie. He will be playing Mr. Fantastic, the elastic hero and the leader of the Fantastic Four, from Marvel comics. Also, a still was shared on Twitter with the actor standing in the front with other major Marvel characters behind him. He was in a blue latex suit with a big 4 also written on the chest.
Also, the other three are Monica Rambeau’s version of Captain Marvel, Captain Carter, and Black Bolt. Though the casting has been denied by Emily Blunt. But the Andrew Garfield incident makes it hard for the fans to believe such statements anymore. Also, it is not too long a wait, the question will be answered soon.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness releases on May 6.
