In the October 26 release, Fox is utterly unrecognizable (seriously, I had to triple check it was him before posting this story) as the film's big bad who murders Cross' wife and kicks off the action in this franchise reboot, co-starring Edward Burns, Rachel Nichols and Jean Reno.

Kind of excited to see what Matthew can bring to the villainous role after watching him play the hero for six seasons on ABC's Lost. Also, gives more supporting evidence to this theory, doesn't it?
