Adapting it into comic book form meant creating some fun new approaches to storytelling, to recast a familiar tale as something that hasn't been seen before. It's a heady book, diving deep into the character of Bond. Fleming's prose is powered by his descriptive punch, an eye for detail that captures the post-World War II time period in full color, from decadent meals to the intricacies of baccarat to the sinister machinations of Le Chiffre. Writer Van Jansen says, 'There's a very obvious reason why I wanted to tackle the adaptation of Casino Royale: because it's James damned Bond! Also, when I cracked open Ian Fleming's first 007 novel (I had read it years before), it immediately appealed to me as a great creative challenge. Set for release in October, the 160-page graphic novel will transport 007 fans back to the 1950's with its stylish artwork and classic story! Here are 10 actors who could play the MCU's Doctor Doom.Award-winning writer Van Jansen and artist Dennis Calero have been selected as the creative team to bring the very first James Bond novel, Casino Royale, to the pages of comics for the first time in the series' history.

If Marvel were to move on from Kang the Conqueror and his variants, then using Doom would make sense, as the character is one of the most popular comic book villains of all time, and he was key to the 2015 Secret Wars event from Marvel Comics that inspires Avengers: Secret Wars. According to a bombshell report from Variety, Marvel almost replaced Kang with Doctor Doom after Jonathan Majors' arrest. While the upcoming Fantastic Four movie is reason enough to believe that Marvel Studios is looking to cast Doctor Doom, a new report has made that even more likely. With the Fantastic Four movie releasing in 2025 and Doctor Doom having appeared in every movie of the team pre-MCU, the villain could be making his debut soon. That has since changed, with Disney buying 20th Century Fox, which gave the Fantastic Four and the X-Men back to Marvel Studios. For more than a decade, the MCU has had to go on without some of its most popular heroes and villains due to their movie rights having been tied up at another studio.

Doctor Doom's debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be on the way, and there are some great options available to take on the role.
