Who should play the lead for the Fantastic Four: John Krasinski or Joseph Gordon-Levitt? | The Tylt

Ever since the Fox/Disney deal, John Krasinski and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have become fan favorites to take on the role of Mister Fantastic in an MCU reboot. 

Screenrant wrote on Krasinski:

John Krasinksi has been in Marvel’s crosshairs for some time now, having been a finalist for the role of Captain America in 2010. He lost out, funnily enough, to former Human Torch Chris Evans, but we feel his skills would actually be better served as resident egghead Mr. Fantastic. While Evans continues to be a definite Cap, Krasinski’s quirky delivery and physical limberness (as seen in this clip from Spike’s Lip Sync Battle) are a fantastic match for Reed.

Screenrant wrote on Gordon-Levitt:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has become the movie star’s groomsman. He’s made a career out of playing second fiddle in blockbusters like Inception (2010), Lincoln (2012), The Dark Knight Rises (2012) and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014). Sadly, a lone stab at headlining his own epic saga, Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, fell through in 2015, forcing the screen favorite to continue his search for a signature role. Reed Richards could very well be that career-definer.

Krasinski has been fan-cast as Mister Fantastic for some time. He told Screenrant:

Oh yeah, the Fantastic Four. I would love that! I mean listen, I’m still getting into the whole superhero thing. I didn’t read comics as a kid, not as many, I read some but not as much, but I’m a huge superhero fan so yeah, I’d love to do something like that. If they’re are any left, a lot of these have been taken but the ones that are left, yeah, I would love to do something like that. And listen, I’d love to work with her again so any chance I got would be great.

The Internet is mainly fan casting Krasinski and Blunt as Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. 

But others think acclaimed actor Gordon-Levitt would be the best fit for the role. He's been on the cusp of playing a hero for a while. 

And fans have been saying for years it should be Gordon-Levitt.
