Moyer tipped for 'Fantastic Four' role

True Blood star Stephen Moyer is reportedly in line for a role in Fox's Fantastic Four reboot.

According to Comic Book Movie, the actor is being sought to play the film's antagonist Doctor Doom.

The proposed comic book adaptation is being produced by Akiva Goldsman, from a script by Green Lantern co-writer Michael Green. Adrian Brody and Jonathan Rhys Meyers are rumoured to be competing for the lead part of Mr. Fantastic.

Alice Eve and Amber Heard have been linked to the role of the Invisible Woman, while the relatively unknown Kevin Pennington is said to be in contention to portray the Human Torch.

Previous reports indicated that the project is in development under the working title Fantastic Four: Reborn, though Marvel and Fox are yet to confirm this.
