We’d be very surprised if today’s D23 panel involving Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Studios didn’t involve the principal cast for the MCU’s Fantastic Four reboot being announced, as well as the presumed confirmation that WandaVision‘s Matt Shakman will be taking over from Jon Watts behind the camera.

From the second Kevin Feige drew his jaw-dropping San Diego Comic-Con panel to a close without naming the actors set to bring Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm to life, all eyes turned to D23. In a cruel twist of fate, though, there’s a huge number of fans who don’t want John Krasinski to reprise his role as Mr. Fantastic from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

It’s one of those things that sums up internet culture in microcosm; MCU supporters spent years demanding The Office and Jack Ryan star be cast as the grey-templed patriarch of Marvel’s First Family, but as soon as they got exactly what they’d been clamoring for, a lot of them decided they didn’t want it anymore.

Sure enough, both sides of the divide remain out in full force on social media, with the pro and anti-Krasinski crowds stating their cases in equal measure.

Having suffered through five feature-length Fantastic Four films boasting four different lineups, which includes a low budget effort that was never released and one of the worst superhero movies ever made, Fantastic Four aficionados deserve to see the team get their due on the big screen. Whether that involves Krasinski or not remains up for debate, but at least we don’t have too long to wait until we get an answer.
