Before he's killed by Wanda ( Elizabeth Olsen) in Multiverse of Madness, Krasinski's Reed confirms that he does indeed have a wife and that she is still alive. It's no wonder that Krasinski was first asked about possibly playing Reed on-screen back in 2018, the same year he performed alongside his real-life wife Emily Blunt in A Quiet Place. Samir Hussein/WireImage Marvel Comics 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' implies the existence of an Emily Blunt Invisible Woman.īut even more than his stretchy limbs or super-genius intellect, Reed's defining feature is his commitment to his family. Though he's still best known for his performance as Jim on The Office, the beard Krasinski has grown for movies like A Quiet Place makes him a dead-ringer for Reed, who has also become synonymous with a beard in recent years (interestingly, Reed was once known best for his hair graying on the side, but in the MCU that look now seems owned by Cumberbatch's Strange).

Anson Mount reprised his role as Black Bolt from the short-lived Inhumans TV show, but John Krasinki's debut as Reed might be the most applause-worthy cameo in all of Multiverse of Madness. With Tony Stark dead in the MCU and Namor a no-show so far, they were out. In Marvel comics, the classic Illuminati lineup typically includes Xavier and Strange as well as Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, Black Bolt of the Inhumans, Namor of Atlantis, and Iron Man. But when Stephen Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch) is finally brought before the Illuminati of Earth-838, Xavier isn't the only fan-favorite character that shows up.

If you watched the first Super Bowl tease for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, then you had a good idea that Patrick Stewart's Professor Charles Xavier was probably making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in the Sam Raimi-directed film ( though it may not be his last appearance in the franchise).
