I love Pedro, but this would be insane casting that'd be pretty clearly more about getting a popular name on board than actually making sense for the character. Hopefully these sources are wrong.

I think he'd be fine as Reed Richards but, eh, he's also going to be 50 before Fantastic Four even comes out. If they aren't going to give us a young F4 team, and age isn't an issue, then why not just leave Krasinski in the role rather than relegating him to a variant that got thirty seconds of screen time in an otherwise forgettable movie.
