There’s a new rumor swirling around that Marvel Studios has approached Adam Driver to star in their new Fantastic Four film. Although fan-favorite John Krasinski was recently seen as Earth-838’s Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, casting rumors have been swirling around the web for some time now. However, a new report by scooper Daniel Richtman has provided new information about the possibility of Driver taking on the role of Reed Richards, the founding member of the comic book team with the power of super-stretching abilities.
This new rumor reinforces previous speculation that the Marriage Story star was being considered for the role of Mr. Fantastic. While other names have been tossed around as potential leads for Fantastic Four, including Penn Badgley and Diego Luna from Andor, it seems like Driver is currently the front-runner. According to Richtman, he is in final talks with Marvel Studios for the role, which could mean that an official announcement could be forthcoming.
Marvel Studios has stated that they will be making a new Fantastic Four film, although nothing is known regarding the casting. However, rumors that Marvel Studios was getting ready to start the project’s casting process arose in February. According to a subsequent rumor, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was highly involved in the decision-making process, therefore the casting process could take some time. Adam Driver now seems to be the man Marvel Studios may have been looking for all along.
This project has been under development for some time, so if the rumor is accurate, it might represent a huge advancement. When Marvel Studios will formally disclose the whole cast is still unknown, as is how far along director Matt Shakman is in the casting procedure. Additionally, there is a rumor that Marvel Studios may decide to reveal the whole Fantastic Four ensemble at the July San Diego Comic-Con. This would offer viewers something to anticipate and increase enthusiasm for the forthcoming movie.
The current release date for Fantastic Four is February 14, 2025, giving Marvel Studios plenty of time to complete their cast and create a top-notch superhero movie. However, this rumor has undoubtedly created a lot of hype and expectation among fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As of right now, fans will have to wait for formal confirmation of Adam Driver’s involvement in the project.
