10 Actors Who Could Play Doctor Doom In The MCU
2. Cillian Murphy
Cillian Murphy has proven before that he can play a frightening and powerful comic book villain in the Dark Knight trilogy. However, his version of Johnathan Crane barely started to scratch the surface of what the actor is capable of.
His success in the TV show Peaky Blinders has breathed new life into his career, which was already a massive success anyway. His popularity is enormous now, and many mainstream audiences know him by name. He has the perfect amount of star power to take on a role like this.
To complement this comes the fact that he is incredibly well suited to the role. Murphy has a dark quality to his facial features and expressions. Through subtle and calculated changes, he often appears to be incredibly devious and unsettling. Thanks to this, he is great at playing characters who feel like they have a dark side.
Murphy has the right amount of star power, great villainous energy and the ability to be taken seriously as a manipulator. He is an ideal choice for the role.
