SILVER SURFER Solo Project Rumored To Be Moving Forward Following THE FANTASTIC FOUR Debut

This isn't the first (and probably won't be the last) time we've heard a rumor relating to the Silver Surfer, but it sounds like something is finally moving forward at Marvel Studios.

The Silver Surfer is expected to make his (her?) Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in The Fantastic Four, but it sounds like plans for a solo project featuring the character are still very much in place.

A previous rumor claimed that The Fantastic Four director Matt Shakman's multi-year deal with Marvel could potentially include helming episodes of a Silver Surfer Disney+ series, while another indicated that it was actually a Special Presentation that was in the works.

While it's not clear if this project is being developed for the big or small screen, insider Daniel Richtman is reporting that the Sentinel of the Spaceways will feature in his own solo adventure at some point.

Marvel is still believed to be searching for an actor to play the Silver Surfer in the FF reboot. We've heard that the studio might be planning to cast a female take on the hero (Anya Taylor-Joy's name came up), but the "female herald" of Galactus could turn out to be a completely separate character.

Pedro Pascal will play Reed Richards, and he'll be joined by Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning) as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear) as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing.

There are rumors that both Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) and Mads Mikkelsen (Rogue One) are top picks to play Doctor Doom, but other actors are sure to be in contention.

Several well-placed sources have claimed that Doom will be one of the main villains of Avengers: Secret Wars.

Javier Bardem (Dune: Part Two) is still rumored to be the top choice for Galactus, but his schedule may prevent him from signing on. Antonio Banderas (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) has also been mentioned as a possible contender.

Matt Shakman will direct FF. Plot details are still a mystery, but we do know that it will at least partially be set in the '60s. Kevin Feige has confirmed that this will not be another origin story for the super-team.

“A lot of people know this origin story. A lot of people know the basics. How do we take that and bring something that they’ve never seen before?” he said in a 2022 interview, comparing this new take on the heroes to Marvel Studios' pact with Sony to bring Spider-Man into the MCU. “We’ve set a very high bar for ourselves with bringing that to the screen.”

Umm. Ok
I thought the new ceo was against stuff like this and preferred sequels to successful properties? Unless spin offs is what he considers a "sequel"

@Vigor - That’s just it, if they only expend resources on “established & successful” characters, they’re never going to continue to expand into the gigantic roster of characters they have, and that’s before even touching mutants.

Echo is a prime example of a HUGE and complete waste of money, time and resources.

But Silver Surfer is no Echo, he could easy cross paths with Beta Ray Bill, Adam Warlock, Captain Marvel and a long list of other intergalactic/ cosmic characters

Silver surfer is a beloved marvel character and moves the story forward with his connections to f4 and Galactus.


It's a no brainer to have him in a solo or appear💪🖖

Yes!

Norin Radd aka Silver Surfer def deserves a solo outing. It’s a strong character that can carry a franchise, and open to the door to lots of cosmic adventures.

Just kinda wish it would have been done prior to any appearance in F4

Fingers crossed Galactus shows up w/ a female herald, and SS is saved for later

If true then cool but we’ll see…

The figure of a female Silver Surfer would be way too sexy for Disney to ever approve it

@Evansly - Don't worry, she'll be as flat as her surf board.

@Evansly - I doubt it even is Surfer and likely could be one of the other Heralds (likely Frankie Raye/Nova)

I'm all for a Silver Surfer movie but he better be male.

@Tasmaniac - Why? Because I want a male take on the Silver Surfer.

OK?

They can't seriously be considering making him a woman after all the backlash and failures they recently have had. Nobody likes this pandering BS.

@LeonNova - Oh, so it wasn't the poor writing?
LeonNova
LeonNova - 2/25/2024, 10:44 PM
@EskimoJ - It goes hand in hand with the poor writing. Instead of taking the women characters we do have and making them interesting, let’s just gender-swap a male character. Or instead of just writing a good story about women, let’s make it some feminist girlboss propaganda BS instead.
