There have been rumours swirling for a while now that John Krasinski – director of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A Quiet Place Part II, star of The Office – could play Mr. Fantastic in an MCU reboot of the Fantastic Four. Marvel fans are even holding out hope that Emily Blunt – the Mary Poppins and Sicario actress who happens to be married to Krasinski – could p💦lay fellow Fantastic Four member, and the character's partner, Sue Storm.

Speaking exclusively to our sister publication 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Total Film magazine for the latest issue, Krasinski spoke about potentiall♕y taking on the role. 

"You’re like, 'Do you have any interest in not shattering people’s dreams?'" Krasinski says with a grin. "I would love to be in the Marvel universe. I love those movies because they’re fun, but I also think they’re really well done. And certainly a lot of my friends are in those movies. I have no idea what [Marvel] are thinking. But if they are considering me𝓰 for Mr. Fantastic, continue to consider me because I would love it."

TF also asked whether Krasinski would ꦇconsider directing a Marvel blockbuster, and answer🔯ed: "Oh man, directing one of those things? I don't think I'm your guy. But if I was to act in one? I'd have so much fun."

Krasinski also spoke at length about directing A Quiet Place and his time on the smash꧒ show, The Office. Read the whole interview in the new issue, out now on news stands.
