Fantastic Four Reboot: 8 Actors to Petrify as Dr. Doom
5. Jon Bernthal
You only hate him because he's so great at his job. And shouldn't we feel the same about Doom? Bernthal's incredibly accomplished, making his big splash in The Walking Dead as the irredeemable Shane. To see him bring his twisted, subtle, nuances to Doom's conniving, back-stabbing, and altogether horrific persona could prove a great direction for the character. And while Bernthal might be routine to the Southern dialect, he's got a European look that would do him well if we see Victor before he ever dons the mask. So, at this point, Bernthal should be a fairly strong contender.
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).
