Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness: Every Main Character Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Reed Richards

It’s happened! Reed Richards has made his MCU debut AND was brought to life by John Krasinski. This has been the dream of countless MCU fans for years, and finally Marvel Studios and Sam Raimi were able to make it happen.

As the Mr. Fantastic from another universe, Krasinski brought everything to the role you would have expected. There was a warmth to him, a certain calmness that could easily be outweighed by his intelligence and unique ability to fight.

A little more screen time and the chance to shine would have seen Richards climb higher on this list, but even with the limited time he had he was able to completely steal the show.

The only problem here is that Reed was unceremoniously killed by Wanda. Just because Krasinski played one version of Reed doesn’t necessarily mean he is tied into the Fantastic Four movie set to release in the near future. This movie did confirm one thing though – we were right to want Jim Halpert as Reed Richards, and should anyone else be cast they will have an impossible fight for the hearts of MCU fans on their hands.
