Adam Driver has been linked to the role of Reed Richards for several months now. The latest information suggests that the Star Wars star is close to making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.

A new rumor says that Driver is in the final talks with Marvel Studio for the role of Reed Richards. This new information was shared by scooper Daniel Richtman on his Patreon channel. Driver's name was associated with the Fantastic Four project as early as October 2022.

It was in January that rumors started to swirl that the actor was Marvel's "top casting choice" for the role of Reed Richards. If the new information is correct, Driver will be replacing John Krasinski in the role. Krasinski appeared as Reed Richards in Doctor Stranger in the Multiverse of Madness. The actor has indicated that his MCU role is a one-off.

Previous rumors indicated that Driver met with Marvel to be part of the film. Fans speculated that Driver would be playing Doctor Doom in the upcoming film as he also played the villain Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
