That's just the heroes, though. Much like the X-Men films, Fox have been pulling their weight when it comes to finding a good villain as well. Credit to them for going with established but younger talent, however, rather than household names like Ian McKellen and Kevin Bacon. Especially since Toby Kebbell as Doctor Doom is inspired casting. Kebbell's a fantastic performer just look at his varied turns in Dead Man's Shoes, that one episode of Black Mirror and RocknRolla and seeing him play a supervillain is jolly exciting. Not that it might be the most familiar Doctor Doom performance. Kebbell was one of the first to spill information from the tight-lipped production, claiming his Victor Von Damme would be a genius computer hacker who adopts the title as his online handle.
