John Krasinski, who despite all of his career advancements will always be Jim from The Office to us, has never been in a Marvel movie. Although he auditioned for Captain America (a role that went to Chris Evans), Krasinski now has his eyes on a different Marvel hero--Mr Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four.

　　Talking to Total Film magazine (via Gamesradar) ahead of the release of A Quiet Place Part 2, which Krasinski directed, the actor talked about wanting to take on the role of Mr Fantastic. The Fantastic Four can now be incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Disney's purchase of Fox.

　　"I would love to be in the Marvel universe," he said. "I love those movies because they’re fun, but I also think they’re really well done...I have no idea what [Marvel] are thinking. But if they are considering me for Mr. Fantastic, continue to consider me because I would love it."

　　Krasinski also said that he does not think he will ever direct one of the films: "Oh man, directing one of those things? I don't think I'm your guy."

　　His wife, Emily Blunt, was the original first choice for Black Widow. Unfortunately for her, a scheduling clash meant that she was unable to take on the role, and instead starred alongside Jack Black in the largely forgotten Gulliver's Travels.

　　Marvel Studios has not set a date or cast for a Fantastic Four film, and the 2015 film didn't do so well. It remains to be seen if and when they will get their own film, and there's no guarantee that Krasinski would be on their shortlist.

　　Recently, we learned that the note Jim wrote for Pam during The Office, which we never got to see, contained a goodbye from Krasinski written for actor Jenna Fischer.
