Rumors that “Doctor Who” and Terminator Genisys star Matt Smith has been offered the Reed Richards role in director Matt Shakman’s Fantastic Four – after Adam Driver passed – apparently have some truth to them. The rumor, kicked off by internet scooper Daniel RPK, might be null and void though.. which Smith’s reps confirming today that he’s not doing it.
(or maybe they’re just doing what reps are supposed to do? deny, deny, deny – until they’re ready to announce).

In addition to Driver, Margot Robbie and Daveed Diggs are reportedly no longer in talks to take on the role of Sue Storm and Ben Grimm in the film, respectively.
This one is playing musical chairs when it comes to actors.
