There he embodied Kylo Ren, a warrior corrupted by the dark side of the Force, who although in the end manages to redeem himself, left a mark in his role as a villain, responsible for committing heinous actions. In that case, do you think Driver would also work as Victor Von Doom aka Doctor Doom, the archenemy of the Fantastic Four? Or would they prefer him as the heroic Reed Richards?
