After finding out all the leading Fantastic Four cast members, fans wish to know about the villains in the film. Has Doctor Doom been cast in the MCU already and is Daniel Craig playing him? Here’s all you need to know.
Is Daniel Craig playing Doctor Doom in MCU’s Fantastic Four?
Daniel Craig is rumored to be in talks with Marvel to play Doctor Doom.
Whether or not Doctor Doom appears in Fantastic Four remains to be seen. But as per Jeff Sneider, Marvel is currently in talks with the former 007 actor Daniel Craig to play Doctor Doom. He revealed the exclusive scoop on John Rocha’s The Hot Mic podcast saying that Craig has shown interest in being in a Marvel movie.
Sneider has a good track record with his scoops, but the Daniel Craig part isn’t confirmed. So, it needs to be taken with a grain of salt, as all rumors are. Furthermore, another familiar scooper, MyTimeToShineHello posted that Marvel has someone else in mind. So, we’ll have to wait for an official confirmation from Marvel before jumping the gun.
It’s known that Daniel Craig was initially poised to play Earth-838’s Balder the Brave, but that cameo didn’t come to life. Many would agree that his talents will be better used for Doctor Doom. But there have been plenty of other actors who have also been rumored for the role.
