One of the main reasons cited to explain the disappointment of Doctor Strange 2 is its deleted scenes. It was reported that approximately 30 minutes of footage was cut at the end of the film. Now, an interesting update suggests that a post-credit scene was cut from the film as well. According to reports, this scene was about Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic, and was cut for unknown reasons. Although the film featured the Desk actor John Krasinski as Reed Richards, it didn’t take long for the smartest man alive to be shredded by the Scarlet Witch.

MCU’s Reed Richards in Doctor Strange 2
John Krasinski as Mister Fantastic has been a fan request for a long time. As a result, they were extremely excited when Krasinski was introduced onscreen as Reed Richards of Earth-838 as well as a member of the Illuminati. But the happiness was short-lived as Scarlet Witch broke in and before he could even touch her hair, Wanda ripped him into threads.
Following this, various statements and updates from Kevin Feige’s company made it clear that what they had done in Doctor Strange 2 was nothing more than full fan service and is highly unlikely to return in the future. Now, based on reports from the deleted post-credits scene, it’s all but confirmed that the MCU is bringing a new Reed Richards to its main Earth-616 timeline.

Despite the fact that here writer Michael Waldron only mentioned Reed Richards’ hand entering the frame without further details, it makes sense that this is Reed Richards from our own MCU. In the MCU, Reed Richards should be introduced in the Fantastic 4 if not sooner.

Who could potential Reed Richards be in the MCU?
There have been many rumors on the internet suggesting that the YOU Star Penn Badgley is the most likely current Reed Richards for MCU. While some fans still believe that Krasinski was the ideal comic book accurate representation of the smartest man alive, but the events of the Doctor Strange 2 film have raised serious doubts about the casting.
On the other hand, Penn Badgley has started gaining support for playing Mister Fantastic in MCU. According to many, his incredible acting skills can be seen in his role in YOU. The killer aura on a simple man’s face Joe Goldberg featured in YOU clearly shows that the actor can play layered characters. There have been no official updates on this from the studio yet.
It’s ultimately up to the studio now to decide who our Mister Fantastic will be because it’s pretty obvious that the MCU has little interest in continuing John Krasinski as Fantastic 4 chief.
Fantastic 4 is set to hit theaters on November 8, 2024, while Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness can stream on Disney+
