Earlier this year, John Krasinski briefly appeared in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”; now, Marvel fans have higher hopes for the actor’s future in the MCU.

On “The Tonight Show” Tuesday night, Krasinski, who played Earth-838’s Reed Richards (a.k.a. Mister Fantastic), chatted with host Jimmy Fallon about Marvel Studios’ recent announcements at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, specifically the upcoming “Fantastic Four” movie.

Of course, when Fallon asked the actor about returning as Richards in “Fantastic Four”, Krasinski revealed absolutely nothing.

He emphasized that he wouldn’t know anything until “right before (they’re) about to shoot.” As for rumours of his wife Emily Blunt’s involvement as Sue Storm, Krasinski tricked viewers, acting as though he was about to reveal something about the film before suddenly being shot by a “Marvel dart”, pretending to die.
