You're aware that he turned down that offer, right?

Variety reports that Marvel's Silver Surfer is on course to become a linchpin in Fantastic Four 2, which 20th Century Fox is readying for a July 4, 2007 release.
The character has evolved into one of Marvel's more sophisticated comic book heroes. A Surfer feature has been in Fox's arsenal for a decade, but the studio waited because the project is so ambitiously f/x-heavy and Fox has been busy with other Marvel franchises.
The wait ends with "FF2." The storyline is being finalized, with the studio about to choose between a script by X2: X-Men United scribe Mark Frost and another by Don Payne, who scripted Fox/New Regency's My Super-Ex Girlfriend.
According to the trade, Payne's script is the frontrunner and includes the Surfer.

Weapon M said:I cannot wait till they do a Silver Surfer! Yes!! Go for it!! This is what we need!!!!!! 2007!!! Couldnt be sooner! Are you kidding? if they kick off Silver Surfer in his own movie this could be a 2010 release or something. Maybe we could see Silver Surfer in FF2 and then have a spin off. That would be great- amazing! Just like whats happening with the Xmen franchise of movies. They might have two spin offs! Daredevil had one!
hunter rider said:I'm not sure about this,on one hand the cool factor of seeing Surfer onscreen is obvious but as mentioned the F4 need time themselves to develop further before adding in a character that will not only take up a big chunk of the SFX budget but who also needs plenty of story time
I wonder if Fox considering this is more to do with wanting to get the character established with the mainstream in order to get the Silver Surfer movie out as quick as possible and add another franchise to their list
zer00 said:Yeah, exactly. Throwing Surfer in there when even the FF aren't established as "super heroes" is moving a bit too fast. And...you got to finish off the story with Doom. which I'm sure the other script has. But throwing Surfer in there seems like alot to do. Introducing him at the end of FF2 as a cliffhanger owuld be the best thing to do. Or just have his own origin movie first then have a corssover. Which is seemed to me was always Fox's plans.
I had more to add to this...but I'm too ****ing tired. I'll space out my points
adamcz said:My theory: Fox has to use the Surfer now, or they lose the movie rights. Marvel wants the rights back to as many characters as possible, so they won't go out of their way to renew the deal for Fox. It's probably now or never.
