Adam Driver would meet with Marvel to play Dr. Doom in “Fantastic Four”

The Fantastic Four reboot is one of the most anticipated by fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and since Disney’s purchase of FOX, these characters have not had a new appearance on the big screen. Now, strong rumors suggest that Adam Driver would already have met the company to keep the role of Dr. Doom.

According to information from The Direct, Adam Driver held talks with Marvel, where they discussed their possibility of joining the MCU. Jeff Sneider, a reported industry insider, says there is no certainty about the character the “Star Wars” actor might play. However, his sources mention that he may be signed with Reed Richards or Victor Von Doom.

Whether it’s for the movie villain or the foreman, Adam Driver could join ‘Fantastic Four’ at any time. Marvel hasn’t mentioned or commented on it for now, but Sneider’s reputation, who in the past leaked Harrison Ford’s signing in ‘Thunderbolts’, as well as Willem Dafoe’s return in ‘Spiderman: NWH’, lead us to believe. that the news could end up happening.

Self Adam Driver remains as Dr. Doom, It would be the second villain in a huge franchise like the UCM. Well, as fans of ‘Star Wars’ will remember, in the last trilogy of the saga he gave life to Kylo Ren, an enemy who was at the height of Darth Vader, and with Doctor Doom he was able to consecrate himself as an actor of strong and charismatic enemies , both belonging to Disney.

Who is Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four?

In the Marvel comics, Doctor Doom is the main enemy of the Fantastic Four, one of the most fearsome villains in the entire universe, who was able to get Thanos into trouble. His appearance in the MCU is rumored to be in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” but given the proximity to the premiere, it’s nearly impossible for him to be the plot villain, or at least in a post-credits scene.

Marvel recently confirmed a delay in the release date of “Fantastic Four” caused by problems with “Blade”. In addition, the search for the actors who will be the new line-up of ‘The Fantastic Four’ has begun. So the rumor that Adam Driver has met the company for the reboot doesn’t sound so far-fetched.
