The She-rald of Galactus - Julia Garner is the Silver Surfer

[MagnarTheGreat]

Without the FF or some other massive hero inclusion it would flop so it seems like a nonsense idea to me.

I think if it could be made with $100 million, I'd be more open for it. But a Silver Surfer movie might need a higher budget, especially if its set in a different planet.

Yes as a space opera like Guardians or Thor or Star Wars and any VFX (including for main character) would be exceedingly costly.

I dont think we are getting the male version unless Marvel does a Kang style pivot. This is Surfer's origin and it doesn't make sense to do their origin twice. Why waste an appearance in a 200 mil movie on a version you don't intend to stick around? Why not use this as their launch pad like they did Black Panther in CW? That's why I don't see Norrin coming and that this is currently intended to be our Surfer long term

I hear you, but I still won't rule Norrin out completely just yet. Could be nothing, but remember when LaKeith Stanfield spilled that he thought he got the role and then that story quickly got scrubbed.

I think he could still be the Sacred Timeline's Surfer.

Well since it looks like they filmed at least one pre-herald scene, it seems likely we’ll see Norrin in that scene.

I just can't see it. We are not getting the Surfer comes to Earth story a 2nd time, so if we do Norrin, you're going to have to give him a new origin likely and cover much of the same ground we are already covering here. Plus, all indications are Galactus from this movie will continue into the MCU, so I cannot see why his herald wouldn't also if he is crossing over

I don't think Silver Surfer needs to be like a space opera like those. But with sets alone and the Silver Surfer visual effects, they would really need to be mindful and resourceful with their budget to keep it under 101 million. The Creation looked great for its budget which was less than 100 million.

Plenty of Mcu films could be made imo, with about 100 million or less - Daredevil, the Punisher, Hawkeye and Luke Cage to name a few. I am surprised Disney haven't taken that route yet. Thunderbolts is more expensive than all Venom films.

Rise of the Silver Surfer

I thought she was making this face until I zoomed in lol.

They will probably make Norrin Radd another herald who is brainwashed and loyal to Galactus. He can be the Bronze or Gold Surfer, or he will be Fire Lord or the Fallen One. That seems right in the MCU wheelhouse at this point.

This means Shalla Bal will be forced to fight or confront him.

My only issue so far is her eyes.
Including the pupils just ruins the "living statue" vibe she's supposed to give.

Yeah, the blank eyes in the comics always gave a feeling of detachment and mystery that fit his character.

I’m not sure why they went this way, but I wish they hadn’t.

 

[psylockolussus]

They also gave her dark lips, thick black eye liners and black eye browns. In comparison to the Fox version, its all silver.



Also the slick back hairstyle is giving Fox-Mystique.

The Silver Queen.

Her voice is haunting!

 

[HammerDown]

Yeh she’s cool and I hope they do a great job with her as the secondary villain for this, since the overarching villain is Galactus similar to how Dormammu was the big bad for Doctor Strange but it was Kaecilius doing the dirty job for most of it.

It’s interesting that they are bringing Galactus to the mix so early on but since he seems to be from a different universe I bet they are going to save him/the original Silver Surfer for something much bigger down the line.
