BF: From one action film to another, you have a role in "The Fantastic Four" where you play the blind sculptress, Alicia Masters. How did that role come about considering that her character in the comic book has her as a blonde haired and blue eyed gal?

KW: I signed on for all three films in order to do the first one, and with this film it's really more about the Thing meeting Alicia and introducing their relationship. Most of the film is about how the four leads become superheroes and how they deal with it. My managers and agent pitched the idea to the studio for me to play the role and the studio, because I have a really great relationship with Fox, were open to it. They were able to expand their minds and think a little outside the box and so they made it happen, which was great.

Let me see if I have this straight. It's not even out yet, it looks like a big steaming pile of feces smeared all over a filmstrip, and they're already planning a trilogy? **** you Hollywood.

Oh and nice going on the diversity. Since a black Kingpin worked so well for Daredevil and all. Yay affirmative action.

AUSSIE Fantastic Four star Julian McMahon yesterday confirmed he's still in the running to play James Bond.

He's "still talking" with 007 producers about filling the role.

Speculation about the new Bond is a perennial publicity stunt.

"But it works to my advantage too," he conceded to Showbiz Editor Michael Bodey. "Even if I hadn't spoken to them, the press that I've got has been enormous. But I have spoken to them."

That aside, McMahon's first major film role is as a villain - Dr Doom - in Fantastic Four, due to premiere here on July 7.

The four, Ioan Guffudd, Chris Evans, Jessica Alba and Michael Chiklis, have signed for three films over 12 years if this year's incarnation is as successful as expected.

"But it's not contracted that way," said Chiklis, aka The Thing.

"It really is," said Alba (the Invisible Girl).

"From the first day of pre-production to the last day they can release the third film is 12 years max."

"Bloody hell, The Thing's going to be walking around with a cane," Chiklis laughed.

Evans, who plays the Human Torch, said there's "buttloads of pressure" taking on the characters "but the good thing is I can share it and blame it [on the others]".

Alba added: "People were initially incredibly critical of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, they hated the idea of Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man and now no one else can be Wolverine or Spider-Man."

They did? I don't remember this.
