John Krasinski wants Marvel to let him play Mr. Fantastic, which isn't much of a… stretch

John Krasinski missed out on playing Captain America, possibly because he couldn’t shrink his body down like Chris Evans did for that first movie (truly one of the most impressive feats any actor has done, all without the benefit of any moderately convincing computer graphics!), but he still has his eye on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Speaking with Total Film, Krasinski revealed that he’s very interested in playing Mr. Fantastic if Marvel ever decides to get a new Fantastic Four movie off the ground. The studio controls those characters again now that it took over Fox’s film division, so Marvel will theoretically make Fantastic Four movie at some point, and Krasinski wants everyone to know that he “would love it” if he got that job
