John Krasinski has reportedly held talks with Marvel Studios in recent weeks, fuelling speculation that he could be set for a part in the superhero franchise.
The 40-year-old, best known for playing Jim Halpert in The Office, has forged out a successful career on the big screen - both as an actor and a director - over the last few years.
According to the Geeks WorldWide website, Krasinski has held video meetings with executives at Marvel during the coronavirus lockdown "over a multitude of projects".
The publication is unclear whether the discussions are for Krasinski to appear in front of the camera or have a role behind it, although previous speculation has linked him with the upcoming Young Avengers project.
Another possibility is a fresh reboot of Fantastic Four, with Marvel parent company Disney now owning the rights to the franchise after their acquisition of Fox last year.
