Bosslogic is a fantastic artist who creates posters and art for studios such as Sony, Marvel, and more. One of the major things he does is photoshop actors for potential castings.
He did this with countless actors and more importantly, Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne. Now he’s only gone and photoshopped Penn Badgley as Reed Richards.
There is no secret that castings are well underway or actors could have already been cast as the Fantastic Four, but more recently, rumors have been flying around that Marvel Studios has spoken with Penn Badgley about becoming Reed Richards.
Fantastic Four which is slated for release on November 8, 2024, is rumored to have found its director recently in Matt Shakman who is reportedly in talks to take the director’s chair.
Recently John Krasinski portrayed a version of Reed Richards in Doctor Strange 2: Multiverse of Madness. As stated when that movie was out, they cast Krasinski because fans “wanted it”. We still do. He is my #1 casting for the role, but if Penn was to be cast I’d have no issue with that either.
Even though this rumor has stemmed from a Reddit rumor and you can not believe them for a second, this could well be true. He’s young, he’s loved and adored by fans for his role in “You”.
We also recently did an article on the castings for each member of the Fantastic 4 where we gave 2 castings for each character and Penn did in fact make that list for Reed.
What do you think of Penn Badgley taking up the mantle of Reed Richards?
