Marvel Studios' made a lot of fans extremely happy when they finally cast John Krasinski as Mister Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. However, it was made clear that he only played a variant version of Reed Richards and the general belief within the Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom right now is that the casting isn't permanent.

Still, there are a lot of actors in Hollywood the studio can choose from, including Rahul Kohli who also happens to be a favorite amongst fans. The Midnight Mass actor has long been on the fans' radar to play Mister Fantastic but it looks like he isn't sold with the idea.

Responding to a fan who wants to see him play a variant of the Smartest Man Alive, Rahul pretty much rejected the casting idea and replied with a GIF image of Steve Rogers' now-iconic "no, I don't think I will" line from Avengers: Endgame.


In a subsequent tweet, Kohli revealed that he has his sights set on playing the obscure DC hero Dogwelder and while many initially thought he was just fooling around, the actor would even tag James Gunn and asked the director of The Suicide Squad to call him, perhaps to negotiate his potential entry to the DC Extended Universe.

Gunn would then give Rahul his stamp of approval, saying he's always seen the actor as the perfect Dogwelder.

As it stands, we still don't know which actors will make up the MCU's version of the First Family, and considering we've yet to reach Phase Four's peak, it doesn't looking like Marvel Studios is in a hurry to bring them to the franchise.

Meanwhile, Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four reboot is currently under development.
