Looks like Robert Downey Jr is being replaced as the lead voice actor in Dreamwork’s answer to the Incredibles. In that void will be Will Ferrell instead.
/Film describes the film as:
The superhero comedy project formerly titled Master Mind is being produced by Ben Stiller, written by Alan J. Schoolcraft and Brent Simons., and directed by Tom McGrath, co-helmer of the Madagascar films. When super villain Oobermind (Ferrell) defeats his arch-rival Metro Man (Pitt), the world should be his oyster. But instead, Oobermind falls into total despair. It turns out that life without a rival is life without a point for him. So he creates a new superhero rival named Titan (Hill). Unfortunately, the new hero wants to be a super villain too. Who can we turn to? Who has what it takes to stand up to this menace? Who will defend the innocent? Oobermind
I can’t help but be wary about OoberMind, as on the surface it does sound like an Incredibles ripoff. But it has a different story, and may just turn out to be a good film. I don’t discard other comic book adaptations because there are others out there, so I am trying to remain positive.
RDJ would have been a nice touch for the voice of OoberMind, but Ferrell can do a good job too. I used to just love Ferrell, but just got sick of hiss style of comedy, so I hope this doesn’t turn into a “Ferrell Comedy”
He does kind of look like the character though.
