Actor Toby Kebbell, who is playing Dr. Doom, in The Fantastic Four teased his villain character in the reboot and this will surely get under the skin of the Marvel and Fantastic Four fan base.
Kebbell spoke to Collider.com about Dr. Doom's origin.
"He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor Von Doom in our story. And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that. The Doom in ours — I’m a programmer. Very anti-social programmer. And on blogging sites I’m 'Doom.'"
Um, WHAT?! So Doom is just his log-in name on a computer? Kebbell then teases working out
"I’m excited to see it too, and my nerves really…The only thing I can tease you about is what I worked on most was the voice because nobody—even in the cartoons, when I was watching them I was like, 'So where’s he from?' There’s a mild change and I’ll tell you because of our history."
And then the actor talks about the tone of the movie that director Josh Trank was going for.
" Josh, the whole deal, the lo-fi way he did it, the ultra-real. It was just nice to do that. It was nice to be feeling like we had to come to terms with what was given by this incident."
The obvious knee-jerk reaction to all of this is 'What the f**k!?' But fans need to, at the very least, wait to see the first trailer before completely writing off this reboot. In the meantime, it is quite okay to have a reaction similar to this...
The Fantastic Four releases in theaters on August 7, 2015.
