Toby Kebbell to Play ‘Fantastic Four’ Villain Doctor Doom

Fox has zeroed in on newcomer Toby Kebbell to play the “Fantastic Four” team’s arch nemesis Victor von Doom, aka Doctor Doom.

The role was chased by several rising stars, including Jack Huston and Domhnall Gleeson, before Fox targeted the ”Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” thesp.

If a deal makes, Kebbell would join Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell in the reboot that plans to shoot this spring. Fox had no comment.

Based on the Marvel comic “The Ultimate Fantastic Four,” the contemporary update will focus on the characters as young men and women. Josh Trank will helm the pic with Simon Kinberg, Matthew Vaughn and Gregory Goodman serving as producers.

“The Fantastic Four” is slated to bow June 19, 2015. A second installment is due in summer 2017.

Kebbell, whose long list of strong supporting roles include “War Horse,” “The East” and Legendary’s upcoming adaptation of “Warcraft,” is repped by CAA and Independent Talent Group.

Kata Mara? Seems like an odd choice for Susan Storm.

So Reed Richards is 27, Ben Grimm is a skinny Brit who is 28, Sue Storm is 31 and white, Johnny Storm is 27 and black and Doctor Doom is 31.

This movie is already a complete trainwreck.

It was a trainwreck before all of that.

Disney/Marvel is ready to scoop up the franchise after said trainwreck also. Skrulls and Dr. Doom will be a welcome addition to the MCU.

I think this is why they are making this abortion waiting of a movie. To keep rights.

Jessica Alba as a blonde was amazing....

This is making me really appreciate the first two movies. LMAO

Of course, Jessica was VERY easy on the eyes in that little outfit.

Better than Michael B Jordan as Johnny.

So Crazy too.
The story, character development and everything to produce a mega hit has already been written for you, and you decide to wipe your ass with it.
Fn Brilliant.

AND these ****ers have the SS and Galactus. DISGUSTING.

All said though, I think Toby Kebbell will be the best thing in this movie by far.

So what does it take for these rights to go back to Marvel?

Lead pipes and broken kneecaps, which I'm fine with.

I believe it is Marvel has to buy them back or they don't use the property (make more shitty ass movies) in some period of time.

The problem is that fox will continue to make the movies and people will continue to go to them. Marvel may never get the rights back.
