David Tennant On Potential CBM Roles; Name Drops FANTASTIC FOUR's Reed Richards

David Tennant really doesn't need any more geek-cred after playing (arguably?) the most popular incarnation of The Doctor from the insanely popular BBC series Dr. Who we've had so far, but while chatting to Collider about his upcoming projects he's asked about a potential role in a comic book movie. It seems the Scottish actor is a fan of the villains, but he also mentions a certain Mr Fantastic, Reed Richards.



"I don’t know which ones I would suit, really. I can’t imagine who I could play. I’m a bit old for a lot of them now, which is a terrible, alarming truth. Who could I be? I could probably still do Reed Richards – Mr. Fantastic. I don’t know. Villains are always great. I’d be very happy to do a bit of that. They’re the one growth industry in movies, at the moment, so it would be nice to do one, I suppose, as either the good guy or the bad guy. The bad guys probably get the better lines, don’t they? And they wear less spandex. That would be quite good."


Is it possible Tennant knows that Fox's Fantastic Four reboot is casting at the moment? Or maybe he's just a big fan of the character. Either way, do you guys think he'd make a good Reed Richards? Which villains do you think he might suit? Sound off in the usual place, and check out the interview in full by clicking the link below.

If he can do an American accent he'd be pretty perfect actually. Hopefully someone in the Fox casting department sees this.

Tennant is a seriously good actor - just watching 'Broadchurch' here on Brit tv and he is excellent. And if Ioan Gruffud can do Mr Fantastic ... then Tennant certainly can. Funny i had him dome as a potential Stephen Strange (see 'Fright Night' if you have any doubts!!)

Would be a great choice for Reed. Wouldn't make a bad Dr. Strange either.

He would be brilliant as Dr. Strange or Mr. Fantastic!

I never really liked this character of Mr Fantastic. Sure he can stretch himself out, can't we all? I'd like to see him disguise himself as a lamp if he had to.

Seriously though, I just don't see it, but I really am not as familiar with this guy as is sounds like I should be.

plasticman - 4/4/2013, 6:21 AM
So tell me, Who is this guy? Who?

Marvel - Daredevil (Don't ask me why), Doctor Strange

DC - Green Lantern, Lex Luthor (Maybe keep the hair though)

I'd be on board for Tenant as Reed or Doc Strange, or anything else that suits him, but Tom Baker is still my favorite Doctor

Tennant, for a villain, could be the Riddler, maybe even Carnage!

Tennant's American accent is terrible, but he'd be great in the part none the less.

Wouldn't mind him as Reed but needs little work on his American accent.

Im with Spidey1994. Tennant, wanna play a good villain ? Talk with Sony about Mysterio. I think he'd nail it.
