The Office's John Krasinski Has A Marvel Hero He'd Love To Portray

John Krasinski, who despite all of his career advancements will always be Jim from The Office to us, has never been in a Marvel movie. Although he auditioned for Captain America (a role that went to Chris Evans), Krasinski now has his eyes on a different Marvel hero--Mr Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four.

Talking to Total Film magazine (via Gamesradar) ahead of the release of A Quiet Place Part 2, which Krasinski directed, the actor talked about wanting to take on the role of Mr Fantastic. The Fantastic Four can now be incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Disney's purchase of Fox.

"I would love to be in the Marvel universe," he said. "I love those movies because they’re fun, but I also think they’re really well done...I have no idea what [Marvel] are thinking. But if they are considering me for Mr. Fantastic, continue to consider me because I would love it."
