Stand Alone Silver Surfer Movie Is In The Works

Big news coming out of Marvel's mutant universe, today, as The Hollywood Reporter, reveals that 20th Century Fox is developing a new, stand-alone movie for The Silver Surfer.

The Silver Surfer first landed on our screens in 2007 in Marvel's Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer.

The Silver Surfer hails back to 1966 where he was first featured in The Fantastic Four comic, edition #48. A character (formerly-ish) known as Norrin Radd.

I can't wait for this one. The surfer has bags of potential with an origin story that is totally enthralling – maybe this will be part and parcel of the movie?

The studio, who clearly see the potential in the franchise has hired Brian K. Vaughn to write the new stand-alone story.

The Silver Surfer movie will have to wait its turn, however. There are currently multiple Marvel movies in the pipeline, including Drew Goddard's X-Force, and Deadpool 2.

And, let’s not forget Noah Hawley’s Doctor Doom movie is rattling around there, too, somewhere. It’s a crowded space but all are eagerly awaited so, let them queue, is what I say.

So, we must be patient but there will soon be supporting information coming our way regarding the future of the Silver Surfer.

Stay tuned to Vocal.
