Ben Mendelsohn has spoken about his love for comic books in the past, and during a new video interview with The Wrap, the Secret Invasion star revealed that one of his favorite characters is none other than Doctor Doom.
The Aussie actor explained in passionate detail why he feels Doom is such a great villain... and why he believes the character is the best thing to come out of the Fantastic Four comics!
No, Mendelsohn is not a big fan of Marvel's First Family. In fact, he thinks they "suck."
Honestly, we can see quite a few people sharing Mendelsohn's take. Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Sue and Johnny Storm certainly have their share of devoted fans, but there does also tend to be a perception that they're a little on the dull side. Hopefully, Marvel Studios' upcoming reboot can inject some new life into the property.
