As reported by "Moriarty" at Ain't It Cool News .Com.......
Are They Getting Closer To Casting Dr. Doom For FANTASTIC FOUR?!
Thatâs what this scooper says:
Hey Harry,
Due to friends working at Fox i'm able to visit the studio on occasion... and a few days ago I happened to spy Jason "Lucious Malfoy" Isaacs sitting on a golf cart outside Ralph Winter's office waiting for a meeting. Ralph's Exec. Producer on Fantastic Four, of course, and i'm told there's a sign on his door as we speak saying they're casting for the project.
I dunno, Jason Issacs as Doctor Doom? I can't think of any other major player he'd be up for that fits.

For all of you who are already writing off FANTASTIC FOUR, Iâd urge you to wait. I know that Marvel takes this particular film very seriously, and it sounds like theyâre working overtime to fine-tune their take on it before it goes into production. The script reviews out there right now are for drafts that have already come and gone, and there are major elements that continue to change. The first real indication weâll have of what to expect will come from the casting, and if Isaacs is the guy they tap to play Dr. Doom, then personally Iâd feel like they were at least on the right track. Iâm sure weâll hear more in the weeks ahead as the production heats up...
-----------------------------------------------
Well that's something isn't it? I think this sounds like good casting to me. The man was absolutely despicable as Lucius Malfow in the Harry Potter films, and that ability to channel pure evil should suit him fine in the role of Victor von Doom. I just hope that is indeed the role he was interviewing for, and that the rest of the players are equally well cast.
