Angry tweets hammered the supposed casting as well. One disappointed fan tweeted, Why the hell would he be Reed Richards, and how could RR be in Quantumania? In another tweet, a fan shouted, How could he be reeds lmao that wouldn’t seem OK. The following tweet said I’m almost certain that the high-pitched screaming isn’t coming from the fans. Since Reed Richards assumes a huge part in the film, fans are very anxious to figure out who will be cast in the role. Taking into account how well Marvel is protecting Harper’s personality at the present, most fans will without a doubt accept he is playing the Fantastic Four pioneer Reed Richards. In the film, Jonathan Majors plays Kang the Conqueror, one of the Fantastic Four’s most enduring and vindictive enemies. Harper got an Emmy nomination for his supporting role as Chidi Anagonye in the NBC comedy series called The Good Place for which he has acquired a dedicated fan base. He most as of late showed up in the satire spine-chiller series ‘The Resort’ on Peacock, co-featuring Cristin Milioti, and he additionally filled in as the showrunner for Season 2 of Love Life on HBO Max.
Why would he be reeds lmao that wouldn't even make sense
