It’s being reported that Fox has found the actor they want to play the villain in their upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, Victor von Doom, who’s of course better known as Doctor Doom. Julian McMahon played the character in the 2005 movie of the same name and its 2007 sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer.

According to Variety Toby Kebbell has been chosen for the role, and a deal is currently being negotiated. Kebbell would join a cast that features Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as The Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan as The Human Torch, and Jamie Bell as The Thing.

It appears that Fox may have finally found their cast for the Fantastic Four reboot.

According to reports Michael B. Jordan is set to play the Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, Jamie Bell is in negotiations to play Ben Grimm/The Thing, Kate Mara has closed a deal to play Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, and Miles Teller has an offer to play Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic.

Jordan has been rumored to be up for the role for some time now, while both Mara and Teller have been among the names said to be testing for roles. Bell has not been mentioned before, but came into play later when Fox resumed screen testing.

Fantastic Four fans are another step closer to seeing Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and The Thing grace the big screen once more, as Fox is getting ready to cast the film by testing actors for the roles later this month. Another sign of good news is that screenwriter Simon Kinberg has turned in the script for the Fantastic Four reboot.

Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kit Harrington, Kate Mara, and Saoirse Ronan, all continue to be major contenders for the roles that are up for grabs. Teller has reportedly been offered to play Mr. Fantastic, with Jordan attached to play as Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch. Mara and Ronan would be testing for Sue Storm. Hit the jump to see who else is being tested.

Further proving how secretive J.J. Abrams actually is; not even those who admitted to auditioning for a role in Star Wars: Episode VII know what the film is about. Saoirse Ronan confirmed she did a few tests with a lightsaber, but could offer no details as to what she was role she was auditioning for. It could be that she may not know or she may know but signed some sort of nondisclosure agreement, whatever the case may be, we get a sense that there will be a strong female presence in the film and not just some sort of damsel in distress.

Now Michael B. Jordan (Chronicle) confirms he too also auditioned for a role, although he doesn’t know what the film is about. Hit the jump for more.

The status of the Josh Trank-directed Fantastic Four reboot remains in flux, but 20th Century Fox is more than determined to get the ball rolling and head into production. Minor setbacks like giving Simon Kinberg to do the rewrites have prevented the film from actually moving forward. But a new shortlist of actors who are testing for the lead roles gives us a sign that the film could make its March 5, 2016 release date.

Variety maintains that Michael B. Jordan (Chronicle) is still in the running for Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch, and add that Kit Harington (Game of Thrones), Jack O’Connell (300: Rise Of An Empire), Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now), Saorise Ronan (Hanna), Kate Mara (House of Cards), and Margot Robbie (The Wolf Of Wall Street) will all be testing for lead roles in the upcoming film in the near future.
