According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox were contemplating gender-swapping classic Marvel villain Doctor Doom for their Josh Trank-helmed reboot of The Fantastic Four.
Weighing in on Twitter, Chronicle director Josh Trank was quick to debunk the rumours, saying, “The THR gender speculation is also bullshit. Next.”
Fantastic Four is set for release 6 March 2015. You can buy John Trank’s Chronicle on Blu-ray for £9.75 at Amazon.co.uk.
