Sam Raimi states that having John Krasinski in “Doctor Strange 2” was a fan dream

With its arrival on Disney + and its release in cinemas around the world, ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ became one of the highest-grossing films of 2022. And one of the biggest surprises was the appearance of John Krasinski, which Sam Raimi confirms was all thanks to the fans.

Fan power is not something to be underestimated today, because thanks to their insistence, they managed to convince Zack Snyder to finish “Justice League” for HBO Max and “Spiderman: No Way Home” to bring Tobey Maguire and Andrea Garfield back. And now, “Doctor Strange 2” is another example of his reach.

Now in an interview for The golden newsdirector Sam Raimi confirms that John Krasinski was thanks to the power of the fansand that Kevin Feige does everything possible to grant the wish of the Marvel Cinematic Universe fans, listening to all their requests.

It’s so funny that Kevin chose John because fans dreamed of who the perfect Reed Richards would be and because he’s an alternate universe, Kevin said, ‘Let’s make that dream come true.

After Fox was bought by Disney, and after The Fantastic Four went bust, fans began to think about who would be the actors and actresses chosen to bring the new versions of these characters to life. Here’s when the protagonists of ‘A quiet place’, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt played at Marvel.

John Krasinski was close to Marvel

It should be remembered that for John Krasinski “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” was not his first approach to Marvel, since he previously auditioned for “Captain America: The First Avenger”, however Chris Evans has kept the location for that then.

However, with the possibility of “Fantastic Four” on the horizon, rumors of “The Office” actor as the new Reed Richards reached the ears of John Krasinksi and his wife, actress Emily Blunt, who flatly denied. that they would participate in something related to Marvel.
