Back in January, reports surfaced that Emily Blunt (Mary Poppins Returns) had met with marvel studios for a unknown project. Now, thanks to a new report from Geeks WorldWide, her husband John Krasinski (The Office) has also spoke with the studio.
According to the site, Krasinski has taken a virtual meeting with Marvel. The site goes on to say this is likely the first formal meeting between the actor and the studio, and that it is unknown what role it is for whether it’s to star, write, and/or direct, but that a multitude of projects have been discussed.
Like the Emily Blunt report earlier this year it is unknown how far these talks went and if anything will come to fruition, but fans have expressed their desire to see the husband and wife acting to duo to play Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic and Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman in Marvel Studios Fantastic Four reboot, which as of this report has yet to officially been greenlit, but is said to be in early development.
