Benedict Cumberbatch’s film Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness was released earlier this year. The film despite receiving mixed reviews broke several records at the box office. While the film was a fan service of the highest order, it brought back several popular faces in familiar Marvel roles.
One of the most important Marvel characters, Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, has been long awaited one as fans have been asking for it for a long time. Hollywood actor John Krasinski made his MCU debut with the role in the Marvel film. However, the character was supposed to be introduced a long time ago.
During a recent conversation with Empire, screenwriter Michael Waldron, who wrote both Doctor Strange films said that he had initially planned to introduce the character in the first installment back in 2016. He said, “In my very first draft, I wrote a tag just for the hell of it, of the events of the movie being recorded and reviewed by somebody in the Baxter Building, and a stretchy hand coming into frame to run it back. Reed is probably my favorite Marvel Comics character, so I was always gunning to get him in here somewhere.”
