The recently released documentary Doomed! The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s The Fantastic Four revealed that a 20-something Mark Ruffalo once tried out for another comic book film. He had auditioned for the role of Dr. Doom in the failed Fantastic Four film but ultimately lost the role to Joseph Culp (Mad Men).
In 1994, legendary B-movie maestro Roger Corman produced a low-budget film adaptation of Marvel’s Fantastic Four comic book. It was never officially released in theaters or on home video. The story of this production and its sad, strange aftermath is the subject of a new documentary called Doomed, which you can check out more information here.
