"Nip/Tuck" star Julian McMahon could be slicing his way into "Fantastic Four." The actor is in talks to round out the cast of the comic book adaptation as the quartet's main nemesis -- Dr. Doom -- for 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios. McMahon got the offer Friday, and sources say a deal is likely to be made for him to join cast members Michael Chiklis as Benjamin Grimm/the Thing, Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Jessica Alba as Susan Storm/the Invisible Girl and Chris Evans as Johnny Storm/the Human Torch.

1. I thought they already cast Jason Isaacs to play Doom.

He's Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, and he was in the god-awful peesacrap "The Patriot". He's perfect for Victor Von Doom!

2. No, I think Doom was the same age as Mr. Fantastic

That guy would have been dumb for Doom. Having a middle aged British guy as the badguy just would have been such a cliche'd choice. This one's great.
