Unseen FANTASTIC FOUR and X-MEN: THE LAST STAND Concept Art by Carlos Haunte

Two movies that are squarely in the mid-range of comic book movies are Fantastic Four (2006) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). They weren't bad, but they weren't in the range of The Dark Knight either.

For example, making Doctor Doom's metal face organic was a good idea, but it never went very far. But what if they had gone all the way with it? Juggernaut was interesting in X-Men 3, but he didn't look much like the comic. What if they had gone father? Professional concept artist Carlos Haunte has some designs on his site that shows what could have been.

Check out the images after the jump and click to enlarge.




First, here are some concepts from Fantastic Four of Doctor Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon) along with the Ben Grimm / The Thing (Michael Chiklis).

Now, here are some illustrations from X-Men: The Last Stand of Beast/Hank McCoy (Kelsey Grammar) and Cain Marko / Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones).
