And while Doc is "seemingly invincible", so is Batman, Indiana JOnes and most of the other heroes out there. But they can also be killed by a bullet or any other means. So it would only be boring IF it's written that way, just like Batman Begins and any part of Dark Knight without the Joker.
A new Doc movie is GREAT news!
However, Jason Statham is available. He has the proper look, low-emotion acting style, and physical presence to pull it off. He'll need a dialog coach though.
On a side note: The word "seemingly" is key in "seemingly invincible and perfect genius." The character - as originally written -- wasn't invincible or a perfect genius. His major character flaw was in keeping everything too close to his chest and not wishing to put the aides in harm's way. The aides were also there to allow the author to have action in more than one locale at a time.
