With news of Mary-Louise Parker, John C. Reilly, and Helen Mirren joining the film adaptation of Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner’s Red, don’t you think you need a little bit more evil in the mix?
The Hollywood Reporter has some news for you, as Dr. Doom and William Stryker have entered the building.
Julian McMahon, who played Reed Richard’s deformed, electricity shooting (yay, creative liberties!) archfoe in the two Fantastic Four films, along with X-Men 2’s Brian Cox, are apparently in negotiations to join the film, the Reporter said.
McMahon is in the running to play the Vice President, who is at the center of the conspiracy, while Cox will play a personal nemesis of protagonist Bruce Willis.
In addition to these two, Ernest Borgnine is in talks to play the keeper of the CIA’s records, while Richard Dreyfuss will have be “a wealthy man who builds a fortune out of lucrative government contracts.”

Sounds good—does this mean that Julian will not be filming The Smell Of Apples or is it still on the back-burner?
