AceShowbiz - Toby Kebbell who plays Doctor Doom in the upcoming reboot of "The Fantastic Four" reveals the background story of his character. While the villain is depicted in the comic books as the ruler of fictional country Latveria, the origin will be tweaked for the film.
"He's Victor Domashev, not Victor Von Doom in our story," the actor opens up in an interview with Collider. "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'."
"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."
Of the tone of the remake, the "War Horse" actor gushes, "[Director] Josh [Trank], 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 film is set for August 7, 2015 in the U.S. Kate Mara stars as Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing and Miles Teller as the leader of the group Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic.
