Formed after the Kree-Skrull War, the Illuminati were a way for Marvel’s brightest minds to try to prevent another cataclysm. The Illuminati met and worked in secret, unknown to even their allies. In its original incarnation, the Illuminati were made up of Doctor Strange (representative of magic), Namor (representative of the seas), Tony Stark (representative of the Avengers), Reed Richards (representative of the Fantastic Four), Black Bolt (representative of the Inhumans), and Charles Xavier (representative of the X-Men). In the comics, the Illuminati are a secret group of intellectuals and leaders of their respective superhero groups, each a major part of Marvel’s expansive universe. The Illuminati operated in secret since the Kree-Skrull War and were formally introduced in New Avengers #7, pictured above. But there’s always that slim possibility they could, and understanding where the Illuminati comes from in the comics could hint at how they’ll again manifest in the MCU. What about the rest of the Illuminati?īecause the Illuminati were limited to Earth-838, and because they’re torn up by a vengeful Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen), it’s unlikely they’ll influence Earth-616. His cameo in Multiverse of Madness was fan service, not confirmation of what’s to come.īoth Krasinski and Stewart could both agree to return as the Earth-616 versions of their characters, but that would depend on just how much the actors want to stick around for many more movies, and if Marvel Studios is interested in keeping them onboard. The same can be said for Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, who’s played the role for close to two decades and already had a proper send-off in 2017’s Logan. Reed’s appearance feels like it’s giving fans a fun cameo rather than permanently setting Krasinski up for what Marvel clearly hopes to be a long-running franchise. Given the nature of the multiverse, there’s a strong possibility Krasinski will not return to play Reed. But this doesn’t cement Krasinski as the star of Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. What other surprises lay in store? Marvel Studios Is John Krasinski officially Reed Richards?įor Multiverse of Madness, yes, Krasinski is Reed Richards. Rather than the Avengers, it was the Illuminati who formed and took down Thanos. The history of Earth-838 unfolded differently than it did on Earth-616. Of all these changes, the presence of Reed Richards, played by The Office and A Quiet Place star John Krasinski, is perhaps the most notable, so let’s dive into the implications of his role. who’s a glorified security guard rather than a threat to the world. Reed Richards (John Krasinski) is introduced as “the smartest man alive.”.
Professor X (Patrick Stewart) is also a major factor in this universe, which means the existence of mutants may be canon.
