Midnight Mass star Rahul Kohli shows off his “John Krasinski as Reed Richards” Fantastic Four Halloween costume. Fantastic Four movie rights are now in the hands of Marvel Studios and expectations are that classic comic book characters Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm will soon make their debut in the MCU.

Of course The Fantastic Four already has a lot of history on the big screen but unfortunately not much of it is good. One version of the movie infamously was made just so rights holders could maintain their claim and was never legally released. Later Fox-produced Fantastic Four movies did OK at the box office but didn’t ignite further interest in the franchise. And the last Fantastic Four movie to hit screens was such a trainwreck that its director Josh Trank all but disowned it. But fans continue holding out hope that the MCU will finally do right by The Fantastic Four, and fan-casting speculation has been going hot-and-heavy in anticipation of the superhero family’s eventual arrival in the biggest and most successful of all comic book movie universes.

Indeed fan-casters already seem to have reached a consensus when it comes to who should play Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, naming A Quiet Place star Krasinski as their favorite. And this Krasinski pick seems to have one major booster in Midnight Mass star Kohli, who recently tweeted about his Fantastic Four Halloween costume, which according to him is not just Reed Richards but Krasinski’s Reed Richards.

The joke of going to Halloween as Krasinski’s Reed Richards is clever enough. But Kohli really could be slyly putting another actor forward for the role of Mr. Fantastic here, namely himself. In previous Fantastic Four movies, Richards was played by Alex Hyde-White, Ioan Gruffudd and Miles Teller. Though Krasinski is certainly the favorite to play Richards when the Fantastic Four hits the MCU, there have been some other candidates put forth, including Jon Hamm, Colin Farrell, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Lincoln, Patrick Wilson and even Keanu Reeves. Basically, any white male actor who is old enough to pull off Richards’ signature gray temples is considered in the race.

But obviously nowadays with the emphasis on diverse casting there should be a much wider selection of actors who are considered right for the character of Reed Richards beyond the usual white suspects. An actor like Kohli, who proved himself a compelling performer as Sheriff Hassan on Netflix’s limited series Midnight Mass, should absolutely be in that race as much as anyone else. And this may be the actual message Kohli is meaning to convey with his Fantastic Four costume. Or maybe he’s just that big a Krasinski fan.
