John Krasinski has confirmed he\u2019s open to making a cameo in the upcoming spinoff of The Office<\/em>, titled The Paper<\/em>, which is set to premiere in September. Speaking at the premiere of his latest film, Fountain of Youth<\/em>, starring alongside Natalie Portman, Krasinski revealed he\u2019d happily step back into the shoes of Jim Halpert if asked.<\/p>\n

Known for his role as Jim on NBC\u2019s hit mockumentary series, Krasinski said he hasn\u2019t been officially approached yet but is ready to appear if Greg Daniels, the show\u2019s creator, gives the call. \u201cI\u2019d do anything for that guy,\u201d Krasinski told Entertainment Tonight<\/em>, adding, \u201c[Daniels] calls, I\u2019ll show up.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBC announced The Paper<\/em> on May 12. The new series focuses on the staff of a struggling local newspaper called The Truth Teller<\/em>, set in the Midwest. Greg Daniels described the show as exploring the challenges faced by traditional local news in the digital age. \u201cIt\u2019s about this struggling Midwestern newspaper that\u2019s much reduced from its glory days. It\u2019s a fruitful premise,\u201d Daniels said, also explaining how the internet has been the villain by pulling away ad revenue and giving away news for free.<\/p>\n

While Steve Carell confirmed he won\u2019t be returning as Michael Scott, he praised the spinoff\u2019s concept as fresh and exciting. Krasinski agreed, expressing confidence that the new lead, Gleeson, will do a great job. He also emphasized that he\u2019d gladly come back to the franchise if the opportunity arises.<\/p>\n

The Paper<\/em> will debut this September on Peacock, where The Office<\/em> is still available for streaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
