John David Washinton, star of Christopher Nolanâs Tenet and the son of Denzel Washington, says he is down to play Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four in the MCU.
In a recent interview, Washington was questioned about what if Kevin Feige asked him to play Mr. Fantastic.
âIâd say, âWell, thank you for having me, thank you for taking this meeting. Where do I sign?’â replied Washington.
John David Washington was also asked about playing superhero roles, which he says he is open to.
âThereâs so many. I think it depends on whoâs asking, what director wants to do it with me. Weâll see, I want to stay open. I donât want to box myself in,â he said. âMaybe there are characters that havenât been mentioned yet, or maybe even developed, that havenât been introduced in any of the films yet. Iâd like to see what they come up with, if I ever get asked.â
How about John David Washington as Green Lantern?
Christopher Nolan recently said Washinton would make an âexcellentâ Green Lantern John Stewart and that Washington âcertainlyâ gets his vote to play the character.
Regarding the Fantastic Four in the MCU, the characters recently became a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the Disney Fox deal, with rumors offering the Fantastic Four could appear in Ant-Man 3, as it is confirmed Ant-Man 3 will feature Kang the Conqueror, who first appeared in the FF comics.
It will be interesting to see what Feige does with the Fantastic Four in the MCU, whether, similar to how Fox changed up the Human Torch and cast Michael B. Jordan in the role, or if Feige will keep the classic look of the characters.
I really donât see Washington as Mr. Fantastic, I think he needs to play a more serious character. Maybe someone like Bishop or Night Thrasher, or a villain role opposite Blade, Ghost Rider or Black Panther?
