It seems it's not quite a done deal yet (though Variety seem pretty certain it will be) but Fox want Dead Man's Shoes/Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes/ Warcraft actor Toby Kebbell to play the villain in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, Doctor Doom. We already knew Kebell was in the running for the role along with Jack Huston, Domhnall Gleeson, Sam Riley and Eddie Redmayne, but clearly the studio and director Josh Trank have made their choice. If it pans out, Kebbell will join Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell in the reboot, which will shoot this spring.

Yes to this. So much yes. He was great in Rock N Rolla and The East (if you haven't seen it, do yourselves a favor and check it out). Another talent joining the cast.

I don't see this happening. Isn't he filming Warcraft?

Pretty good actor too. I've only seen him in War Horse.

MrCBM56 - 4/1/2014, 3:26 PM
Glad that got someone with an accent too.

MrCBM56 - 4/1/2014, 3:27 PM
Lol @MrMartinMarvel. Elaborate on whats wrong with this guy.
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 4/1/2014, 3:28 PM
I bet anyone who don't like this casting have no idea who this is, or, they won't be able to explain why they don't like this casting. This is actually a pretty good actor for what I've seen him in War horse.

Here comes the "he wasn't in my fan cast and I've never even taken seen any of his work so he automatically sucks" comments. Get out of here.

@ALegendaryPanda

The hate is very rationale, we can all agree the MCU is the strongest franchise, and anything that can be done to make it stronger will be praised by all Marvel fans.

Right now our MCU is complete minus the Heroes/Villians of:
Spider-man (Sony)(Bariing a Sony acquisition, never getting back)
Fantastic Four (Fox), if production gets held up than theres a chance, otherwise 7 more years at least
X-Men (Fox-Never getting back)
Manor the Submariner(Universal)- Not sure if that deal is past seven years contractually, may re-join the family eventually

Brilliant actor. He'll nail it.

MrCBM56 - 4/1/2014, 3:40 PM
As for previous denials (including Miles Teller), Trank expressed frustration with the way that amorphous wish lists get reported as fact.


Hmm?

Even if the casting was perfect, I still wouldn't giva damn. The movie is doomed no matter what.
