'Fantastic Four' Nabs Tim Blake Nelson

The Hollywood Reporter has just released an exclusive scoop that Tim Blake Nelson (O'Brother Where Art Thou) is in final talks to join Josh Trank's Fantastic Four. Nelson will reportedly play the role of Harvey Elder in the superhero reboot. Elder is better known as the villain Mole Man in the comics, but Nelson will just being playing Elder as a scientist. This is great news. A solid veteran actor joins up with the young guns. I hope Nelson will be set up to play the villain in a future installment. Much like how he was set up to play The Leader in a future Hulk film. That never came to pass, but maybe the Mole Man will. Fantastic Four is shooting soon and due out in June 2015.
