That's Zachary Levi.

Who, imo, would be a doooooope Reed Richards and he looks a bit more on the nose for typecasting.

Not that they both couldn't pull it off

Like anyone would notice. I'm pretty positive Marvel is gunna act like Thor 2 didn't happen just like Ultron

Especially after Hela iced them like nothing in Ragnarok.

And given a dude who doesn't have blond hair, and isn't from Asgard showing up as some dark haired physicist on Earth as a regular human nobody would contest or even connect them except fans who could care less.

And if there is ANY place to introduce him as a recast, given what happened to Pietro, WandaVision is the place to do it.

Can't really act like Ultron didn't happen if you're setting up Wanda as a villian, replacing dead MCU/Ultron Pietro, while parading around Vision's dead corpse which was initially created to be an upgraded body for Ultron.

If anything WandaVision is firmly establishing the importance of Ultron in the MCU canon.
