Fans have been patiently awaiting any news about the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot ever since it was announced by Marvel Studios. According to Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman, Adam Driver is in final talks to star as Reed Richards in the film.
This isn’t the first time Adam Driver’s name has been attached to rumors about the Fantastic Four reboot. A number of previous rumors have claimed he was in the running for Doctor Doom in the film. However, this newest rumor from Daniel Richtman seems to affirm prior whisperings from insider Jeff Sneider, claiming that Driver would be playing the film’s hero.
Adam Driver has been divisive choice for both Doom and Reed Richards ever since the rumors hit the web. Many don’t see the Star Wars alum as the right fit for the role, while others simply see different actors as better picks for the character. Only time will tell if this rumor turns out to be true. If Driver does land the role, it likely won’t be long until news breaks in the major outlets.
