The actors chosen by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to portray the Illuminati on Earth-838 set a new standard for crossovers and fan casting.
John Krasinski, who played Mr Fantastic, aka Reed Richards, the group’s leader, was one of the unexpected cameo appearances.
Fans have long pushed Marvel to cast the actor in the role, and Marvel complied. But does he intend to come back? In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, the actor discusses his future in the franchise.
Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Hayley Atwell as Captain Carter, Lashana Lynch as Captain Marvel, and Anson Mount as Black Bolt all appeared with John in the brief scene.
Marvel has, up until now, insisted that the actors’ performances in these roles were one-time only. Many have questioned whether John will return in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot in the Marvel universe.
When asked if he will play the character again in the MCU, John replies, “To be completely honest, I don’t know. It seemed like a mere cameo to me.
John claims he completed filming for his web series Jack Ryan shortly before Kevin Feige asked him to shoot the sequence in a single day. “It was fascinating. I completed Season 3 of Jack Ryan.
When Kevin Feige called, he asked if I would ever be interested in playing this cameo for a day. That’s exactly what I did as well. That was all it was when I went and played it for a day,” he continues.
The actor claims that it was quite striking how the over-the-top fantasy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe contrasted with the grim realism of Jack Ryan. “Playing in the sandbox was a really exciting thing to do.
That is undoubtedly a different universe for a day, no pun intended. Going from Jack Ryan to that in a matter of hours was cool. It was crazy,” John claims.
Before discussing the MCU, John will return to his role as Jack Ryan. The third season of the well-liked programme will debut on Prime Video on December 21.
Betty Gabriel, Wendell Pierce, Michael Kelly, and Peter Guinness are also featured in the programme, based on the well-known character created by Tom Clancy.
