1 How Marvel Can Finally Deliver A Comics-Accurate Version Of Doctor Doom In The MCU Marvel Studios Can Expand The MCU With An Iconic Location Close There have been two versions of Doctor Doom in live-action movies. The first was Julian McMahon in the 2000s Fantastic Four films, fighting heroes like Chris Evans' Johnny Storm. Then came Toby Kebbell's take on the villain in 2015's Fantastic Four reboot, and like the movie, Doctor Doom's design proved incredibly controversial. So far, no live-action Doctor Doom has been universally beloved, but Marvel could change that with RDJ and a look at the comics.
The MCU could go for the comic book route and make Latveria a major part of Doctor Doom's story and drive in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars.
Besides a quick shot in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Latveria has barely been used in live-action. The Marvel Comics location is Victor von Doom's birthplace, with the villain becoming the country's leader later on.
