Julian McMahon, who reprises the role of Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, told SCI FI Wire that his character will finally come into his own in the sequel: He finally gets the familiar Doctor Doom outfit, and he'll be more of a bad guy.
THE SKINNY: While promoting the fourth season of NIP/TUCK today, that series’ star Julian McMahon revealed to iF that he is indeed going to be returning as Dr. Doom in FANTASTIC FOUR AND THE SILVER SURFER.
"We haven’t got a script yet," says McMahon. "The script hasn’t been put out and I’m not going to start until the end of August or September. Right now, I’m literally every day, 16 hours a day on NIP/TUCK."
Okay, it's been a minute and I had to reach out. I know most of you are probably at comicon as I type this. I'm bummed out that I couldn't be there but I spoke with Kevin Feige today, who's attending, and he had great things to say about the excitment out there and the anticipation for, not just the FF sequel but all the Marvel product coming to a theater near you.
I am busy working away at all the concept art and most recently the design for Doom. I saw the maquette today of what the improved Doom will look like and he's everything I 've wanted him to be. Many have stated their disappointment with the lack of "evil" ness in the last movie and I'd be lying if I said I was able to do everything I set out to do, but this time, there will be the plotting and the fighting and technology. He's just as smart as Reed, or as he would say, smarter and I'm going to represent that in the movie big time. Julian is on board and wants to have just as much fun in making him "that villian" we all know and love, or should I say hate. I'm wrestling right now with the cape issue and trying to have it but not let it get in the way of him fighting. He's not going to just shoot beams of power this time. He goes toe to toe with a really big surprise.
My 2nd Unit director Ej Forrester was showing me storyboards on a sequence we have in the movie that involves Doom, and we're determined to have him blowing up shit! Wait until you see the mask! The armor!
Unfortunately, Doom will not be the first sequel's villian. Julian McMahon commited to another movie, Premonition (starring Sandra Bullock), and will not make Fantastic Four 2. Hopefully, he will return in the third film. (RUMOR)

Okay. So there's a reference in there I couldn't resist. *cackle* You'll know it when you see it. Also, obviously, I am taking Sue's words of there never being anything between her and Victor to be a lie. I'll go more into that in the next chapter.

On Monday morning, after his film reported $56 million in box office on opening weekend, Fantastic Four's Julian McMahon was not fielding calls from the studio with sequel offers. In fact, he was still talking to journalists about his role as the comic book supervillain Dr. Doom. "No actual calls yet, but I think it was a pretty good start," he laughed modestly.
Still, based on his knowledge of the comic books, McMahon is pretty confident that Dr. Doom is here to stay. "Firstly, it's Dr. Doom and he can never die. I don't know if you know the comics at all, but Dr. Doom just never goes away. He's like the Joker in Batman. I remember watching that as a kid and going, ‘How does he keep coming back?' So Dr. Doom is endless. I love that kind of comic book take on the continual battle with those kind of arch villains."
As much as Fantastic Four established the origin of Reed Richards, Ben Grimm and Sue and Johnny Storm into Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, Invisible Girl and Human Torch respectively, it simultaneously chronicles Victor Von Doom's fall from billionaire investor to electric-powered madman.
