FANTASTIC FOUR's Main Villain Reportedly Revealed As Adam Driver Remains In The Running For Reed Richards

We may finally have some solid intel on who Marvel's First Family will square off with in Fantastic Four, while Star Wars actor Adam Driver reportedly remains a frontrunner to play the MCU's Reed Richards!

There's a huge amount of excitement for Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four reboot, and while a change in directors and a release date delay have pushed the movie even further into the Multiverse Saga, we remain eager for updates.

In recent months, there have been almost countless rumours about who will play each member of Marvel's First Family, though Star Wars actor Adam Driver has recently emerged as an apparent frontrunner for Mister Fantastic.

John Krasinski, who played a Reed Richards Variant in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, remains a firm fan favourite but appears to be out of the running.

Now, trusted insider @MyTimeToShineH has confirmed that Driver is still a likely candidate to play the MCU's Reed, and if correct, this is a casting decision it would be hard to find fault with. He's only a few years younger than Krasinski, though, so The Office star clearly isn't too old for the role. 

The scooper also happened to mention in passing that Galactus will be Fantastic Four's main villain. We've heard rumblings that the Silver Surfer will be introduced before the movie arrives in theaters to set the stage for that, though it's definitely surprising he isn't being saved as a threat to the entire MCU for the next saga.

Then again, the world-eating baddie has always primarily been a foe to this team, and it's no secret Kevin Feige has been angling to bring Galactus into this shared world for a long time. 

It's also said that we're likely to get casting news before D23, while Penn Bagley, Amanda Seyfried, and Rudy Pankow are no longer thought to be in consideration (and neither is Ryan Gosling; instead, we're pretty sure he'll be Thunderbolts' Sentry). 

As always, it's best to take this information with a pinch of salt for now, but fingers crossed we get some official news sooner rather than later. 

Fantastic Four is set to be released on February 14, 2025.
