MCU Fantastic Four: 10 Actors Who Could Play Reed Richards
6. Rahul Kohli
Rahul Kohli is an actor who really is on the up and has come a long way since his days on iZombie. The Brit may not be the most household of names in comparison to others that feature within this list, but his standout performances within Netflix’s Haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass have thrust him into the spotlight.
Those who know and admire Kohli will be aware of his social media presence, and perhaps most notably, his love of comic books. With that in mind, the frequent Mike Flanagan collaborator is often spotted sharing fan art of himself, and a face that keeps popping up is that of Mister Fantastic. It is not uncommon for actors to use their social platforms to express their personal interest in a potential role, and Kohli will proudly point out he is on that bandwagon. Regarding his on-screen presence, the Liverpool FC fanatic boasts a natural scene-stealing ability, and his powerful performance as Sheriff Hassan within Midnight Mass proves this.
Hassan is a character who, when faced with immense adversity and hardship, manages to keep his close-knit family and faith bound, as well as his rational thinking intact which mimics that of Reed Richards. The 36-year-old has the tools at his disposal to make for a fascinating Reed, and rest assured, fans will see the character done justice if Rahul is given the green light.
