The Fantastic Four need everything they can to generate excitement.

Hard disagree, just make a good Fantastic Four movie and it'll do well.

Annihilation absolutely should be a major arc a la the Infinity Gauntlet saga instead of just a Fantastic Four villain.

I remember reading both Civil War and Annihilation crossovers back in the 2006/2007 and thought the latter was superior. Its sequel and follow-ups were enjoyable too (Annihilation: Conquest, War of Kings, Realm of Kings, and The Thanos Imperative).

Hmm, she IS a blonde white woman, so as long as she never talks over the male Silver Surfer, or try to go against his orders, and gets captured and needs to be rescued by the stronger, more competent male heroes... shouldn't be a problem with the usual crowd.

Leaks pretty much confirmed this a month ago, she was almost played by Anya Taylor-Joy
Possible spoilers in the same leak if you're interested that could explain:
F4 will take place in another universe similar to the MCU one but not quite. By the end of the movie there will be an incursion (brought up in Strange 2) that results in the universe dying and the F4 moving to the main universe

She's specifically playing a character called Shalla Bal, who became a Silver Surfer in an alternate universe and was married to Norrin Radd in the main Marvel universe.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shalla-Bal

Given that this movie is rumored to take place in an alternate universe and NOT the main MCU (at least not in the beginning), this all tracks. Unfortunately, it won't stop all the pre-emptive outrage from people who pretend to be comic fans.

Exactly. This all ties into the Multiverse plots. Specifically, there's a What If? comic that tackles this exact idea. But of course, I don't expect the people who will complain about this to actually read comics.

I've not been keeping up with the MCU, they're still going with the alternate universe stuff after dumping the Kang storyline?

Will have to see how they handle it, still going to be disappointed at the lack of Nova representation.

In all likelihood, they'll probably pivot to Dr. Doom, since Secret Wars was originally his story anyway

The character she's playing was a version of Silver Surfer in an alternate universe in the comics, and that's likely where the F4 movie takes place

Exactly. I look forward to the people who say "Don't gender swap. Just use existing characters" to twist themselves into knots over this.

Their quality has been dropping drastically since Shang- Chi. The Marvels and Quantumania were horrible. GotG3 was great because of Gunn, and he saw what was coming. The DC cinematic universe will likely be the new MCU

They've been in way worse shape than they are now. They almost went bankrupt in the 40s, and considered closing their entire film production division in the 80s. They're fine.

SO...that's the least fitting person I thought to be Sliver Surfer so...god damn it Marvel.
Is she really the least fitting, though

Like you can't think of anybody who's less fitting

If they cast Roseanne you'd be sitting there saying "well at least she's a better fit for the role than Julia Garner"

I kid, of course :p

Super fucking dumb, just use Nova.

Enclave posted...
I don't think anybody in here is saying "Don't use a female character". I think pointing at Nova and saying "She's right there and the casting is perfect" is pretty reasonable.

They're doing it to virtue signal and to generate nerd rage -- which turns into viral marketing. They couldn't get that from using an existing female character unless she was already controversial (i.e. "Captain Marvel to replace Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four movie").

So you're just ignoring the 90-something posts of people clarifying that this is an existing female character and not just a random gender-swap, then?

Maybe they'll use him later. Maybe it'll make sense in the movie. Maybe it doesn't matter much. Who knows.

But what other decisions are you referring to? I don't think most people would even know who Norrin Radd is.

Silver Surfer has been female before in prior source material. Please stop spewing ignorance.
