First look at Victor Von Doom

Saw this on Superhero Hype
Doom

 

[Mad Hatter]

I hadn't realized that they were setting their ages so low.

 

[Captain Howdy]

The costume looks awsome, but the actor looks too young. Although, I'm not a big fan of Dr. Doom, so i might be wrong about that.
Whatever, the costume is sweet.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

I don't mind the ages and such. I'm a big Doom fan(if only because of his name). Very cool costume. Even if it is 'organic' like has been rumored, it LOOKS good.

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

I thought Dr. Doom was supposed to be all burned and such?

Yep - it says it in the caption of the photo that he's disfigured "by
the cosmic rays." The small pic must be a before- photo.

According to IMDB.com, Julian McMahon is 36. Not exactly a startlingly younger Doom by comparison to the comics.

Quite. It's the FF themselves that I think look way too young. McMahon is almost a perfect Doom face, IMO.

I think that overall the ages seem to come acrosss perfectly. It's important to remember that the FF as we know them have come a ways in years in-world from their debut in the 1960s. I think that the dynamic of having Reed, Ben and Victor in their early-to-mid thirties and Sue and Johnny in their mid and lower twenties respectively fits with the ages I've always imagined them as being at the start of their career.

Well, the colour and lapels on the cloak give off a hint of European dictatorship... very Doom. On the other hand, we can't see the rest of the costume yet, and I though at first it looked a little stiff, but then I remembered Star Wars (which I'm sure ripped off Doom many times) and thought 'nah, it'll work'.

And you already know I like the mask.
