Marvel Studios Reportedly Met With Star Wars Actor Adam Driver For A Fantastic Four Role

Take it with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed yet but The Ankler's Jeff Sneider revealed on The Hot Mic Podcast that he heard that Adam Driver, known for his role as Kylo Ren in Star Wars, reportedly met with Marvel Studios for a Fantastic Four role, unsure whether it is Reed Richards or Doctor Doom.

To date, there are no confirmed actors attached to the Fantastic Four reboot, what is only confirmed is that the film will be directed by Matt Shakman following the exit of Jon Watts, and that it will be coming out on February 14, 2025 after the MCU's schedule shifted with the delay of Blade.

Mister Fantastic already made his MCU debut with John Krasinski playing the role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness coming from an alternate universe but there is that uncertainty whether he would reprise the role in the future, thus, speculations still surround who will be Reed Richards in the reboot.

The role of Doctor Doom is still open as well as it is not confirmed yet whether Ryan Gosling will be playing the role and whether it is true that Doctor Doom will appear in the post-credits scene of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

If Adam Driver would really be joining the MCU in Fantastic Four, it would be an easy jump from Star Wars to the MCU given that both studios handling those franchises are both under Disney but then again, nothing is confirmed yet.

Fantastic Four is slated for a theatrical release on February 14, 2025.
