John Krasinski has said he would “love” to star in a reboot of Fantastic Four, but has yet to meet with Marvel about the role.
Emily Blunt, Krasinski’s wife, has also been regularly earmarked as making a perfect Susan Storm, Richards’ wife in the comic books.
While a Fantastic Four reboot has yet to be confirmed, it is heavily suspected to be put into production now that the rights to the series are solely owned by Disney and Marvel Films.
Krasinski, meanwhile, auditioned for the role of Captain America in 2011, getting so far as to wear the character’s suit for a camera test.
