Stan Lee Says a SILVER SURFER Movie Could Eventually Be In The Works At Fox

Stan Lee was very candid at Wizard World Comic Con in New York. It has already been reported he spoke about Doctor Strange and Black Panther movies but it's now revealed he talked about Silver Surfer too...

Stan Lee is at it again talking about future Marvel movies. It is known he has no real influence, or say, in what Marvel Studios, Fox or Sony do with their superhero movie properties. But he does have some limited knowledge of ideas that are thrown around behind studios' closed doors.

This past weekend, Lee spoke at Wizard World Comic Con in New York and talked about a Doctor Strange movie and hinted at a Black Panther film. Now according to a report by MTV Geek, the legendary comic creator says another solo movie that might eventually be in the works.... Silver Surfer.

"MTV GEEK: What are some upcoming Marvel movies you know about and – because you’re partial to the Silver Surfer – do you think he’ll ever get a standalone film?

LEE: Well, let me put it to you this way: Back at Marvel, they are frantically looking for what is the next one they’re going to do. There is no way they won’t eventually do a Silver Surfer movie. It may not be for a few years because they’re thinking and working on Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy. Everything we have. And the fans seem to want all of them. But they’ll get around to a Silver Surfer feature because he’s a wonderful character."

A Silver Surfer solo movie or did Lee just get confused as to which studios owns certain hero properties? Maybe but if he didn't, why not? Fox can build it into their own cohesive Marvel movie universe along with their X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises. Heck, this could eventually lead Fox into an X-Men/Fantastic Four/Silver Surfer crossover movie versus Galactus!

Wishful fanboy thinking? Or did Lee mistakenly clue fans into something Fox is planning? It is definitely worthy of some discussion and/or debate.

I think just now the special effects in movies are up to task to create the story & adventures of The Silver Surfer.

The alien worlds,outer space scenery,creating all the energy & motion SS wields would be mind blowing.

NO EARTH CONTACT!...keep Norin off world & tease that after he becomes the Herald of Galactus that the world-eater is headed for Earth.

Have they confirmed whether or not he's going to have a cameo in Days of Future Past? Because if not, that might speak volumes about the relationship between Marvel and Fox.

I'm just hoping Stan Lee is right about Marvel finally releasing/working a Black Panther movie. I hope to hear something official at Comic Con

@Levi - Silver Surfer is a "lame ass character"? Care to explain HOW, exactly? Like, what, in terms of his origins? His powers/abilities?
marantaz
marantaz - 7/2/2013, 3:46 PM
In order to explain Galactus, you must have the Silver Surfer. Why not do it in his own movie. Very disappointed Fox didn't go with him after FF films. And I would have used the voice of the actor that played him, too. Dumbasses.

Silver surfer is the all time coolest character - he even looked cool in the shitty FF movie.

Should be 100% CG

I think Stan might be loosing it a bit if he see it at Marvel

@Levi
That's not explaining why he's lame. That's an opinion; you're opinion.

Be specific about it.
FOOM

@LEVITIKUZ

Silver Surfer a ' lame ass character'?? Nope, you're thinking of that guy with the cape from Man of Steel.
TheAmazingSpidey63
TheAmazingSpidey63 - 7/2/2013, 3:52 PM
The Silver Surfer is one of THE most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe. His strength rivals that of Hulk's, Thor's, Hercules', the Thing's, and his ability to consume, manipulate, and control the cosmic energy is one of the most powerful one out there. So, again, HOW is he lame, @Levi?

I honestly don't think a SS movie would work without Thanos...but I'm willing to give Fox a try...the best thing about FF2 was Norrin...but if the rumors are true about Fox thinking about turning Johnny Storm black...I'm out...

NorrinRaddical - 7/2/2013, 3:53 PM
My head just exploded. A PROPER Silver Surfer film needs to be done so badly. Please Marvel, get those rights back!
NorrinRaddical
NorrinRaddical - 7/2/2013, 3:54 PM
It does NOT need Thanos! It does not need to involve every alien race in the cosmos. You just need Norrin, Shalla, and Galaan of Taa...

I thought he was the best part of the second Fantastic Four, apart from Jessica Alba and Chris Evans.

"Either way if you think Fox will make a Marvel movie not named Fantastic Four or not including Wolverine, your [frick]ing crazy because it ain't happening."

What implied that I was hoping that Fox will make another Marvel film outside of F4 and X-Men/Wolverine? Never have I thought or even hoped for that, and I never will. The only thing that I was thinking was how can you say Silver Surfer's a "lame-ass character" when you have no proof of that.

Levitikuz - not true, he's as much a christ figure as superman, far more philosophical (Stan the man wrote him best), yearns for far greater things, advances science, has hope for humanity, is a star crossed lover....Surfer is possibly one of THE GREATEST characters to EVER grace the comics, and Lee, Kirby, and Buscema blessed everyone with their creation and work

I don't what kinda bullshit the lord savior del toro has been feeding some people but Silver surfer is not lame.....he's a [frick]ing herald of galactus he TOOK orders then grew into his own character and even when he was he still was badass maybe some haven't read him up yet in their stash of comics...but he once AS A HERALD WAS SO LAME he was entrusted on his own with the other heralds to stop galactuses top herald or perhaps when the surfer was caught in a war between galactus and mephisto or perhaps when loki manipulated him to fight thor....SO LAME

I'd honestly love to see a true stand-alone Surfer film. Intertwined as he is with the FF and much of the Marvel universe, he doesn't need any of the big cinematic characters to tag team with. There's plenty of story and big concepts to tackle all by himself. Do it like Iron Man 1.

Now.. would anyone like to play "who's your dream director" game?

Praying that Fox fails to get FF into development in time and the rights revert

Only marvel character I've ever wanted a movie for and it looks like it'll be a [frick] up like the last one

Curious as to why they always name Stan as "Executive Producer" on all the Marvel movies when he has ZERO input???
