Actor Ben Mendelsohn considers Marvel villain Doctor Doom as one of the greatest "comic book character" and wishes to portray it on-screen one day.
The "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" actor will reportedly play the villain opposite Oscar winner Brie Larson in "Captain Marvel".
Speaking on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, Mendelsohn, 48, said, "Doctor Doom is the greatest comic character of all time. That's a great role."
"The thing that's appealing about Victor is the damage and trauma, the loss of the family, the wrong done to him and then the takeover, the revenge, and then the protectiveness of Latveria wrapped in that Cold War vibe. Theres something about the combination of that. What actually makes him great is his caring bit," he added.
Actor Julian McMahon played the character in "Fantastic Four" (2005) and "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" (2007). He was succeeded by actor Toby Kebbell, who played the character in "Fantastic Four" reboot in 2015.
