Stephen Moyer has an opportunity to sink his teeth into new “Fantastic Four” film. The actor, who is best known for his role of vampire Bill on TV series “True Blood”, is allegedly pursued by 20th Century Fox to star as Victor Von Doom aka Doctor Doom.

Comic Book Movie (CBM) reports that an offer is out for Moyer to portray the villainous role, who is the rival to Fantastic Four. The site additionally notes that “it is still unclear exactly how central the character will be in the film,” but Doom will be showcased as the ruler of Latveria and a master of the mystic arts.

In the meantime, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Adrien Brody are said as the contenders to play main protagonist character Reed Richards. Moreover, Alice Eve and Amber Heard are rumored vying the role of Sue Storm, who is also the love interest of team leader Mr. Fantastic aka Richards. (Source)

Adrien Brody, Jonathan Rhys Meyers And Alice Eve Up For Roles In Fantastic Four Reboot? Last we heard about the Fantastic Four reboot, it had received the title Fantastic Four Reborn, and is was the first bit of news since the project was announced more than a year ago. As it turns out, that title is actually false and now casting considerations have begun.

ScreenRant is reporting that the production is looking at either Adrien Brody or Jonathan Rhys Meyers for the role of Mr. Fantastic and a title has not yet been determined, according to an unnamed source. There have also been rumors stirred up that Alice Eve could be in the running for the role of Sue Storm, according to Comic Book Movie. Whoever is selected for the roles, they will be replacing Ioan Gruffudd and Jessica Alba as the couple at the head of the team.

From an acting standpoint, Brody, Meyers and Eve are all upgrades from the previous two films and do make sense. As for the authenticity of the rumor, some parts do make sense. Predators wasn’t the most successful movie at the box office this summer but it more than doubled its budget internationally and Fox was more than happy with that, which gives Brody legs for the project. As for Eve, her name came up in conversation when discussing her reasoning for dropping out of X-Men: First Class and using it as proof that she was still on good terms with the studio. Regardless of who joins the cast of the reboot, there is an important thing to realize: the bar isn’t exactly unreachable. (Source)
