Actor Adam Driver is currently finalizing a deal to star in a role in the MCU. Specifically, Driver is expected to star in the upcoming reboot of the ‘Fantastic Four ‘ reboot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Initial reports were made late last year when it was rumored that Driver would be playing Mr. Fantastic or Doctor Doom.
Respected industry insider Daniel Richtman reported that Driver is in final talks with Marvel Studios to play Reed Richards. For months, his name has been circling to join the UCM. In January, Driver was said to be the “best casting choice” to play Reed Richards in the reboot.
