10 Previous Mistakes To Avoid In The Fantastic Four Reboot
2. We Need A Real Doctor Doom
Victor Von Doom is one of the Marvel Universe's most fascinating and charismatic characters. Hes fought everyone there is to fight the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men, Spider-Man, you name it. He's an international politician and world leader, a Machiavellian super villain, a master sorcerer, a genius scientist. Hes stolen the power of gods and immortals, travelled in time, died and been reborn. With a will of pure adamantium, nothing seems capable of stopping him. Possessed of a tragic back-story and overweening arrogance, Doctor Doom could be the new Loki if hes finally portrayed correctly, both nemesis to the protagonists and reluctant ally. Julian McMahon was a camp, urbane cringe-fest as Doom in 2005s Fantastic Four and its uninspired sequel. We need a Doctor Doom that appears capable of taking on all of the Fantastic Four on his own, and one that you secretly almost want to win. Is Toby Kebbell the man for the job? Hes certainly got presence, but only time will tell as to whether he can inhabit the man in the iron mask sufficiently to give us the Victor Von Doom we deserve
