Devourer of Worlds - Ralph Ineson is Galactus

[TheVileOne]

All issues aside, I'm really happy about how they appear to be approaching Galactus for this film. I still have PTSD from Rise of the Silver Surfer.

The design seems like it was directly lifted from the comics - which would seem the obvious way to go, but we’ve seem how often Marvel and other studios have been afraid to make characters look like their comic counterparts.

This is a bit similar to how they designed the Celestials which are even bigger than Galactus, so I'm not surprised.

Also after Rise of the Silver Surfer, there's really no other option but just be faithful to the comic book look.

First full look at everybody’s favorite Devour Of Worlds, in all his purple glory.

Except for the somewhat derpy face (I know the guy has a great voice and presence which is what matters), that's actually a beautiful nod to Kirby's bombastic engineering and design, that's not always easy to pull off in live action.
I'm glad they didn't feel the need to reinvent=ruin, or "tone it down", and went all in staying true to the source material. Looks great!

Now If only we had Norrin Radd Surfer, to herald his arrival.

I think they just didn't bother to do Norrin, as a way to differentiate from the Fox Silver Surfer. We can't have it all, sadly.

Actually, I don't think that's it at all. I am pretty sure the reason they gender swapped Surfer is they wanted a love interest for Johnny Storm.

You know I never even thought of that. And it has layers because of the whole Frankie Raye connotations.

You're smart.

Yep, and I know a follow up question I will get is why they didn't just use Nova then, and I think it's 2 reasons:

1 - Visual diversity - 2 flying flame people

2 - They still have future plans to use the Nova branding for Richard Ryder or one of the other Novas.
