From the whimsical adventures of the TARDIS in Doctor Who to the regal halls of Buckingham Palace in The Crown, Matt Smith's acting range is as vast as the universe itself. Given this, it makes sense why he's been consistently linked to rumors of joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it seems like this possibility isn't a stretch.
Less than a month ago, reports from Hollywood insiders suggested that the English actor was being considered for the role of Mr. Fantastic, with some even claiming that he had already been offered the role.
The Fantastic Four role has been associated with a lot of names, such as Dev Patel, Tom Ellis, and even Jack Quaid (though the latter turned out to be a typo), but the most consistently recurring names have been Adam Driver and Matt Smith.
However, the Marvel fandom's reliable leaker Daniel Richtman still maintains that Matt Smith is the top pick for Marvel Studios, having reported the same via Patreon a month ago. So, what do we make of all this?
First off, Matt Smith as Reed Richards? It's definitely a dream casting for many fans of the actor. Smith has the acting chops, the sci-fi experience, and, let's face it, the hair to pull off the role. But, as with all casting rumors, we should take this with a grain of salt.
