Man, when he leaves the MCU, they'll be truly and completely devoid of eye candy. Like, who's gonna be left to hold the fort? Just Sebastian Stan?
Charlie Cox, Tom Holland, Anthony Mackie, Simu Liu, Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Kit Harington, Richard Madden, Barry Keoghan, Tenoch Huerta, Jonathan Majors, Will Poulter, Oscar Isaac, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Josh Segarra, Jon Bernthal, etc... Plus, whoever they cast for the X-Men and Fantastic Four. I think they have a little something for everybody.
Latest rumor says it's going to be Matt Smith as Reed.

It’s all about Johnny Storm anyway.
But Matt Smith as Reed… yeah that’s a pass for me. To each their own, though.
It's gonna be a real tough challenge to fill Chris Evans' shoes as Johnny. And extra tough if they're seriously considering people like Paul Mescal.It’s all about Johnny Storm anyway.

But also, going from Iain Gruffudd to Matt Smith...boy, talk about a downgrade.
I mean I get what you mean physically, but Matt Smith would actually make an amazing Reed Richards. Reed was never meant to be eye candy, Johnny Storm, though ... that's different story.
Nah, there's this misconception that Reed is this lanky, awkward dude when in reality he's the quintessential Marvel bossy DILF:

I mean it's comic books, every artist will draw the characters completely differently. That's the reason they have specific costumes, coloring, hairstyles, etc... I think for the most part, Reed isn't buff. He has muscles as pretty much all comic book male characters do, but definitely shouldn't be muscular. I believe the last two images are multiverse versions of Reed which means there are going to be various depictions of the character to simply tell them apart on the page.
IMO, they've already done the lanky, awkward thing twice in the movies, so this time in the MCU they should go back to his roots as a muscley DILF explorer/scientist based on the Buck Rogers-type pulp heroes, just to stand apart from previous adaptations.

He wasn't a muscley DILF type in the early FF books either. Kirby drew all of the Fantastic Four as relatively realistic people, not idealized superhero physiques.
Eh, he was very much a muscley DILF early on, for the art standards of the time:
He was based on the Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers types, so that element was kinda always there from the beginning.

That's from Fantastic Four #197, a full 17 years after the comic began. Yes, other artists have drawn Reed with the comics-typical quarterback physique from time to time, but I'd say the most iconic runs (Lee/Kirby, Thomas/Buscema, Wein/Perez, John Byrne) depicted him more as a slender academic.
If anything, he was originally based on those scientists from 1950s monster movies, not the Pulp space opera heroes.
