FANTASTIC FOUR: BLY MANOR Actor Rahul Kohli Responds To Fan-Art Depicting Him As Reed Richards

John Krasinski still seems to be the top choice to play Reed Richards among Fantastic Four fans, but artwork depicting The Haunting of Bly Manor's Rahul Kohli as Mr. Fantastic has gained some traction...

A Quiet Place actor/director John Krasinski still seems to be a top pick to play Reed Richards in a new Fantastic Four movie, but thanks to some fan-art shared online over the weekend, The Haunting of Bly Manor standout Rahul Kohli has emerged as another strong fan-favourite.

The photo-shopped image imagines Kohli as the FF's fearless leader, and while it's not especially detailed (it's basically just a re-coloured version of Deadpool's costume), it does give us some idea of how the actor might look suited-up as Mr. Fantastic.

Kohli actually shared the post on Twitter, and even though his one word response doesn't exactly confirm that he'd be interested in the role, the prospect certainly seems to have caught his attention!

Rumor has it that a Fantastic Four reboot is a priority at Marvel Studios and will likely enter development before a new take on The X-Men. We still haven't had official word on Kevin Feige and co.'s intentions for Marvel's First Family, but you have to believe there are tentative plans in place, at least. 

Do you guys think Kohli would be a good fit for Mr. Fantastic, or is it a bit of a stretch? Drop us a comment down below.

"BLY MANOR actor"....really?

"iZombie actor"...

You made a mistake. That's okay.

Anyway, i don't think he's a good fit for Reed. I'm not sure he's got the MCU vibe.

@TheManWithoutFear - I can see him in the mcu, just not as Reed. I'm thinking more of a cisco from Flash with him. Idk if theres a character like that in Marvel but thats what I'd go with.

Feels like Krasinski and Blunt are fan-favorite choices solely, because they are a real-life married couple and A Quiet Place put Krasinski on everbody's radar.

He does kinda gives me brown and British Krasinki vibes lol. I'm not sure about Reed but I can see him in the MCU someday.

I could see it, however we're all already so fixated on the combo of John Krasinski & Emily Blunt that any other casting would hurt.
Their agents are going to have a field day negotiating with Marvel, maybe even so much they don't get cast at all.

Kohli is a great performer though and I'd love to see him in a bigger project sooner than later.

I didn't think I could cringe more than the incessant clamoring for JK to be Reed. The internet has proven me wrong once again.

I would be down with that. I thought he was great in Bly. He could bring a warmth to the character that none have done before.

Ya know what, this would totally work. This guy was so likeable in Bly Manor.
