John Krasinski has come quite a long way since his days as Jim Halpert on The Office, breaking into directing and taking on more dramatic material. One of his most surprising roles came in the form of playing a variant of Marvel’s Reed Richards in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Despite how brief it was, it was a dream come true for those who had been fan-casting him in recent years. Even though he wonât be returning for the upcoming Fantastic Four film, it wouldnât be the first time he has missed out on such a major opportunity with Marvel. Not only did he end up failing a once-in-a-lifetime audition that most actors could only dream of having, but he was also rumored to have had an entire performance for another film get tossed away completely with no explanation given.Much like Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Chris Evans’ portrayal of Steve Rogers/Captain America was one of those bits of casting that just feel so perfect, that it’s nearly impossible to imagine anyone else doing just as well in their shoes. As it turns out, however, before Evans landed what would arguably become his career-defining role, Krasinski was one of many actors who nearly had a shot of taking it instead. Not only that, but he even missed out on being part of what also wound up being a massively successful film under the Marvel banner with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This particular version of Richards, however, is a variant from Earth-838 and a member of the Illuminati, an organization formed to handle potential threats to the multiverse’s stability. Although he was savagely killed off by Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, many fans had speculated about the possibility of him playing the MCU’s definitive version of Richards. Seeing how it’s already been announced that Pedro Pascal will be taking over the role, this clearly won’t be happening. While it remains to be seen what Krasinki’s potential future in other comic book films may be, Doctor Strange at least gave him a chance to prove what he’s capable of in such a film, as brief as that chance was. Unfortunately, his previous attempts at getting such an opportunity with Marvel (and even Sony Marvel) didn’t quite work out in his favor.
