Fantastic Four Reboot: 8 Actors to Petrify as Dr. Doom

6. Sharlto Copley

Why, why, why has it taken so long for Mr. Copley to get back to entertaining us? After a phenomenal debut in District 9 and being the best part of The A-Team, he's jumped off the radar (though, he's got some future projects lined up). What a great opportunity to involve him in a franchise like the Fantastic Four, and how marvelous would he be donning the cape? When I think of Copley, I see him doing the role justice a-la Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds. I feel as if there's something deep down inside Copley that's raging to get out and be dark and transcendent in a role like Doom's. So, here's hoping that that is more than a feeling and is actually fairly spot on. http://youtu.be/3-Kr3I_nNCs

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
