TheAQuiet PlacestartoldEsquirehe “would love” to talk to Marvel about starring in theFantastic Fourreboot, which Marvel Studios PresidentKevin Feigeteased in September.
“I was just about to walk into the worst pun ever, but I was like, that’s a fantastic role. That would be awesome,” Krasinski, 40, said. “Marvel wrote the playbook on secrecy and awesome sort of tantalizing lay and wait until everything’s announced. I am not committed to the role or anything, but I don’t know when they’re doing it. But if and when they do it, I would love to talk to them about it.”
Feige potentially announced the reboot at San Diego Comic-Con, noting at the end of his speech, “There’s a lot of other stuff we didn’t have the chance to talk about today… I didn’t even have time to talk about the Fantastic Four.”
There are no hurt feelings between the two stars, though —The Officeactor said he and Evans are “still laughing about it.”

“People have a sense that some of us are insanely competitive. I’ve known Chris forever,” Krasinski toldEsquire. “So as soon as they saidChris Evansgot the part, I was like, yeah, look at that guy. Are you kidding me? He is Captain America. And I just saw Chris a couple of weeks ago and we were still laughing about it. I said, ‘I love that you retired in my role.’”
Evans, 39, first played the superhero in 2011’sCaptain America: The First Avengerand took on the role a total of 10 times, most recently inAvengers: Endgame(2019). After wrapping up filming for the fourth Avengers movie, heindicated that he was doneplaying Captain America.
