Mr. Fantastic Talks FF 2
Ioan Gruffudd on the possible return of Dr. Doom and a love triangle.
Warning: Spoilers
Ioan Gruffudd, who played Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in the Fantastic Four film, talked with Coming Soon about the sequel now being planned.
FF 2 begins shooting in Vancouver in late August, but Gruffudd hasn't seen the script. "I have not seen the script or read it. I don't know exactly what the story line is. I know Jessica Alba has been talking about it quite a bit and I believe that the premise is Silver Surfer is the new character that comes into it."
He added that he hopes the second one is successful and a third will come about.
Regarding the love triangle mentioned by Jessica Alba: "I'm sure Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic is very capable of holding onto his woman."
Julian McMahon will indeed return as Dr. Doom, Gruffudd said along with Michael Chiklis (Ben Grimm/The Thing), Alba (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman) and Chris Evans (Johnny Storm/The Human Torch). Regarding Doom, "I'm sure he'll be just as ambiguous. Is he on our side or isn't he?," Gruffudd said.

The sequel is aiming for a June 15, 2007 release date.
