He revealed [very few details about the project](http://ew.com/movies/2017/07/20/comic-con-doctor-doom-movie-legion-noah-hawley/), but for fans, this could be potentially great news for the flagging _Fantastic Four_ franchise. Victor von Doom, longtime nemesis to the Fantastic Four, is one of the most popular villains in the Marvel Comics and has battled the likes of Thor and [Luke Cage](http://time.com/4494758/the-making-of-luke-cage/). And yet onscreen depictions have fallen flat: He’s appeared in all three _Fantastic Four_ movies, including Josh Trank’s recent reboot of _Fantastic Four._ That film, which included Doctor Doom’s origin story, [bombed at the box office in 2015](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=fantasticfour15.htm). However, Hawley has taken an unconventional approach to the superhero genre: _Legion_ is more a philosophically compelling acid trip than it is a popcorn flick. The body horror inherent in Doctor Doom’s transformation seems right up Hawley’s alley, as does the opportunity to spin a villain’s tale rather than a typical hero’s story. And he has some experience finding new dimension in beloved properties: His _Fargo_ series builds on the Cohen brothers’ classic with new characters while maintaining a similar tone. If there’s anyone who could save the _Fantastic_ franchise, it may be Hawley.
