Toby Kebbell talks a sudden change of name

Back when we didn't know anything about Fantastic Four (and that was about a couple of months ago), Toby Kebbell (who portrays Victor Domashev Doom) revealed that the director decided to change the name of the villain. Obviously, after the controversial casting choices, this change upset the fans even more.

What was the studio's reaction? They changed the name of the character during the reshoots. And you can imagine what this does to a film, to have a character changed during reshoots. In any way, the actor realizes now that the reveal he made about the villain's name might have ruined a surprise. But still "“ he isn't the one to blame, I believe.

Sure enough, changing it (although not significantly, as if from Doom to Bill Winklebottom) would have been controversial "“ but if you decided before actually shooting the movie on this change, then keep it this way! After all, it was a creative choice approved by the studio at first"¦ We can mention that not just the name was changed, but the character in its entirety"¦
