10 Characters John Krasinski Could Play In The MCU

Like Cyclops, Hank McCoy, aka the Beast, was a founding member of the X-Men. He's floated around the Marvel Universe, also fighting on his own, with the Avengers, and even alongside the Defenders. When the MCU does utilize the X-Men, Beast should be a key part of their plans.

Not only is Hank McCoy superhumanly strong, fast, and agile, he's also a genius, acting as both the brains and the brawn of the original X-Men team. He also views himself as less human after turning himself into a blue creature, which has led to some of his most interesting and introspective storylines.

Krasinski could give some humanity to the role. In many ways, the story of Hank McCoy is a tragedy, believing himself lost to his new mutation when it's only changed appearance and nothing more. Beast will have some darker moments as well as some funnier, light hearted ones, perfect for an actor who's appeared on both The Office and A Quiet Place.
