Who doesn't know about the iconic Marvel super villain Dr. Doom? Dr. Doom, or Victor Von Doom, is the ruler of a fictional Eastern European country named Latveria and the leading antagonist in the Fantastic Four series. But in the newest big screen version of this classic comic, things are surely changing drastically! Toby Kebbell, who will appear as Dr. Doom in the movie, reveals some astonishing facts about the changes made in his role's origin in a very recent interview.
African-American actor as Johnny Storm
Josh Tank, the director of the upcoming superhero movie, launched the first surprise by casting an African-American young actor Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm. In the comics, Johnny Storm is a Caucasian. The second and perhaps bigger surprise was revealed by the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes antagonist, for which he believes he might be even jailed!
Toby revealed that Dr. Doom's name is no longer Victor Von Doom in this movie, or he is no longer the Latverian ruler. Josh has changed Victor Von Doom to Victor Domashev, and the "˜Latverian ruler' identity to an "˜anti-social programmer' identity. This anti-social programmer uses the name Doom in various blog sites. May be there are more surprises that Josh has in store for you and you might have to wait for them until August 7, 2015 when the movie hits theaters!
