Domhnall Gleeson is this morning being linked with a big role in a huge Marvel franchise, as director Josh Trank rounds out his Fantastic Four cast.
According to The Wrap, Gleeson is one of four actors being heavily considered for the role of iconic villain, Doctor Doom. The other actors in contention are Eddie Redmayne, Toby Kebbell and Sam Riley - so they’re obviously looking for an accent from this side of the pond.
Gleeson is coming off an extremely well reviewed first (well, mainstream) lead role in About Time, while he next appears in the fantastic looking Frank, opposite Michael Fassbender, released in these parts come May.
Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Jamie Bell and Kate Mara have all already joined the film as the fantastic ones. The reboot begins shooting in April.
