Fantastic Four: 10 Things The MCU Must Deliver
7. Leading Roles For John Krasinski And Emily Blunt
Marvel Studios has a fantastic (no pun intended) casting director in Sarah Finn, and they don't tend to take notice of online fan casts when it comes to who plays the MCU's heroes and villains. If they did, we would have seen Jensen Ackles as Captain America or Logan Lerman as Spider-Man!
However, there's a very vocal desire online to see real-life married couple John Krasinski and Emily Blunt take on the roles of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. They most definitely look the part, and Krasinski - who is also an accomplished filmmaker - has expressed interest in playing the stretchy superhero on a number of occasions now.
He's even rumoured to have met with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, and it would be great seeing Krasinski both behind and in front of the camera. Many fans can probably live without Blunt, but if her husband doesn't lead the Fantastic Four franchise, then we feel sorry for whoever does, as the backlash is bound to be sizeable.
Ultimately, though, these two as the stars of the reboot is something the reboot must deliver.
