Fantastic Four 2....plus one

[Dr Mordrid]

Starts filming in August with the original cast & characters plus.....

SILVER SURFER

In a recent interview with USA Today Jessica Alba said fans can expect "Silver Surfer" to appear in Fantastic Four 2.

"We start Fantastic Four 2 in August," said Alba.

"The four of us learn that there are other people out there with superpowers, and the Silver Surfer appears as a villain/hero.

"My character, Susan Storm, has another love triangle and may use a power people haven't seen before. She's the most powerful of the four."

First appearing in the March 1966 "Fantastic Four" #48, the Silver Surfer was an emissary for the world devouring entity Galactus.

Cool

That could be interesting. Most of the recent screen-adaptations of popular comics have steered away from the 'weirder' aspects of said comics. So it'll be interesting to see if they mention the whole Galactus end of things.

The first movie was decent enough, so hopefully they can bring this sequel up to the level of say, X2.

Alba's mention of SS as a "villain/hero" makes me think the Galactus storyline is in play. If so then another appearance by Dr. Doom is also likely.

That _is_ cool. As JW pointed out, the recent movie adaptations have stayed FAR FAR FAR away from some staples of the Marvel Universe:

1. All marvel comics take place in the same universe. Crossovers aren't just routine, they're the RULE. All the various mutant groups, hero groups, etc. are always butting heads with one another.

2. There are aliens. Lots of aliens. Lots and lots of aliens. Some of them are friggin' ginormous. And some ride silver surfboards. Weeeeeird.

3. Astral plane, alternate realities, travel from dimension to dimension - all are commonplace.

It would be AWESOME if they finally broke this mold, simply because it would allow them to more closely follow some of the better stories.

Now for a Dr. Strange movie! MUHAHAH!

The Silver Surfer without Galactus is like the Incredible Hulk without gamma rays. It's the character's origin and motivation.
