Toby Kebbell has been discussing the making of last summer’s troubled Fantastic Four , claiming that director Josh Trank cut a version of the film that was great, and revealing that many of his own scenes as Victor Von Doom ended up on the cutting room floor.

Speaking to TheDailyBeast about his experience, Kebbell said “I tell you, the honest truth is [Trank] did cut a great film that you’ll never see. That is a shame. A much darker version, and you’ll never see it.”And it seems that many of the actor’s own scenes were excised from the version that made it into cinemas.“I played Doom in three points” Kebbell explains. “Walking down a corridor, killing the doctor and getting into the time machine, and lying on the bench. They were the only times I played Doom. Everything else was some other guy, on some other day… doing some other thing. I was infuriated that he was allowed to limp like that!”He adds “I missed the press tour for Planet of the Apes because I was lying under rubble, slowly rising out of the ashes to be Doctor Doom. Never made it to the film!”And it sounds like Kebbell is as frustrated with the end product as audiences were: “There are always frustrations with these tent poles. But it generally comes from the script changing, sadly enough. But I’m very proud of my work. I’m also just as heartbroken as the fans are.”For the full interview – in which Kebbell discusses his work on Warcraft and the Apes movies – head over to TheDailyBeast We agreed with Kebbell - in our review we called the version that made it to screens "aggressively mundane", with Doctor Doom himself looking "like the disco gimp version of the Tin Man".
