10 Actors Who Could Play Doctor Doom In The MCU
Is it time to meet our Doom?
Victor Von Doom is easily one of the coolest and most popular villains in the Marvel universe. The classic look, the supreme power and the ultimate villainy is something that makes the character irresistibly charming and one that fans are desperate to see enter into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
His past film incarnations can be summed up as lacklustre. Despite casting decent actors Julian McMahon and Toby Kebbell, the infamous villain hasn't even begun to eclipse the potential he has an overarching antagonist. This disappointing legacy could be easily fixed by finding the perfect actor to take over for the role when he finally enters the MCU.
To choose someone who could easily capture the genius-level intellect, stark leadership skills and overall presence of the otherworldly supervillain is a difficult task. But there are plenty of options who are more than capable of bringing the talent and prestige that the role requires.
This villain could efficiently act as the next significant threat to the avengers, and the producers need to cast someone who can make the role iconic.
10. Andrew Lincoln
Andrew Lincoln is famed for playing the lead in the wildly successful Walking Dead series. In this role, he played a character that seemed like both a standard protagonist and a dark, complex person who could snap at any minute. His ability to appear trustworthy but unsettling would make him a fascinating Marvel villain.
As Victor Von Doom, Lincoln would be able to create an element of class that simultaneously hides a dark secret. He would excel in showing the gradual evil turn of the character. Audiences would know where it is heading and Lincoln would have them eating out of the palm of his hand.
His position in the movie industry is not huge, but he has a substantial audience from his TV ventures. His experience is by no means limited to only TWD, but his time on that show displays his ability to take a leading part in managing a large scale project.
