But he couldn’t have returned because he is busy with projects such as Imaginary Friends and A Quiet Place II. His appearance in Doctor Strange 2 was more of a fan service than a regular role.Meanwhile, Driver could join Fantastic Four and become the main variant of Richards. People familiar with his work in Star Wars and other movies such as Logan Lucky, Marriage Story, 65, and The Last Duel, amongst others, know what he could bring to the table.Why Adam Driver is a great choice for Reed RichardsAdam Driver as Mr. Fantastic in MCU (Image via Marvel)Driver, known for playing Kylo Ren, has shown that he can play characters that walk the fine line between a hero and an antihero. Reed Richards may be the smartest man alive, but he isn’t the nicest man alive personality-wise. More often than not, his intellect makes him seem snarky and rude to others in the room, including his wife, Sue Storm.So, Adam Driver might just be the perfect actor to play such a complex character in the MCU. After all, his appearance on Saturday Night Live has proven that he can also pull off a nerdy look, which will come in handy when he portrays MCU’s smartest man alive.His only minor drawback might be that he isn’t the biggest crowd-puller at the box office. His films mostly make money when he is part of an ensemble cast and an important franchise like Star Wars. So if he gets cast in Fantastic Four, then Marvel might have to bring in some other big names for Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grim.On top of that, the movie would need a familiar villain like Doctor Doom to excite fans. With these boxes ticked, Adam Driver could be a great pick because of his acting prowess.Directed by Matt Shakman, Fantastic Four hits theaters on February 14, 2025.
