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

4. Jon Hamm

Everyone seems to want him for Batman, and some, I've heard, want him for Lex Luthor. But wouldn't he make the perfect Doom, who is sort of a combination of the two aforementioned characters? We've seen him dark without being flat-out evil in Mad Men, so why not take the leash off and let him have a hay-day with the alliterative villain? If there's one thing Mad Men has done well for Hamm, it's given him plenty of chances to go head-to-head with strong characters. He knows how to keep his cool, how to let loose, and how to control a situation. It's important to remember, also, that Doom isn't just an evil-doer, he's a political tyrant; which means he has to be well-versed and convincing in that aspect as well. http://youtu.be/Rvxh5rDcLUg

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).
