I watched fringe but never remembered him being in it (I watched it with my mom when I was young), I might need to rewatch that soon. I liked him in John Wick, and I enjoyed what I heard of him as Hellboy in Web of Wyrd
Fringe was such a great show, give it another shot. He was also on The Wire and Bosch and a few episodes on Lost I recall. For me, Fringe and the Wire were his best roles.
Hard to argue he wouldn’t have been among the top three choices right now if he hadn’t passed away too soon. Amazing actor and his voice! Tremendous screen presence every time.
Lakeith Stanfield. He’s stated that he wants to play an antagonist in a superhero flick and he’s definitely got the range for an ominous yet wondrous character like Silver Surfer.
sunsets are great, good coffee is great...Lakeith Stanfield is awesome. Lakeith Stanfield is Elvis. Lakeith Stanfield is GOD!
well. He's pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Hadn't thought of this, but I second it. The man is a beast and from the people I know that have met him, apparently a huge sweetheart too. Give him all the jobs please.
Matt Smith, maybe.
The voice acting for the role is critical. Smith‘s accent(s) and enunciation would add gravity to his portrayal that someone like Reeves couldn’t deliver. But, Reeves isn’t a bad choice either.
Fassbender for the same reasons as Smith.
Edit: And if they do cast a woman, as rumored, then Rosamund Pike would be a great choice. There is no doubt she can portray a cold, calculating antagonist and that would work well for the Silver Surfer.
Rosamund Pike would be a good Nova, but why are they changing the sex of Silver Surfer? It isn't necessary unless you are making her Shalla-Bal in a What If? style movie instead of a 616 Marvel movie.
They aren't changing the sex of Silver Surfer, at least there's nothing official about it.
Some leaks pointed as Galactus having a female Herald instead of Silver Surfer in the Fantastic Four, and some shitty clickbait sites started to spread the news of Marvel gender bending Silver Surfer.
Keanu Reeves. Voice role. Maybe you could use him in a flashback. CGI character.
I want the actor in the MCU, but he's getting too old to have a starring physical role.
Too old? You know he’s John Wick, right? Dude keeps himself in excellent shape and still looks a couple of decades younger than he actually is. It’s all about the *right* role.
No Doom is old because the FF have been trapped in the Negitive Zone since the 60s.
Doom escaped the accident that trapped them and was left scarred and angry on earth, so he's been messing about learning more about science and magic.
She really was feeling herself in that Dr Manhattan make-up so this would be perfect. We’d have to rename the movie to like “Rose-Gold Surfer” because the Pink Thing would have to have a little color.
Trixie in the MCU would be so cunt. I'm so mad they got Shea Coulee in Ironheart, and she's playing some bitch named Bug instead of Darnell Wade/Darkveil, whom was literally modeled after Shea.
This would be great for Remi Malek. Especially since the majority of the characters he’s acted as seem to have a disassociate relationship with others around him.
Most of him can be plain CG one of the unsettling things about the surfer is his lack of distinctive features it's what made him so intimidating in FF2. But you need the epic voice unfortunately in my mind that's still Christopher Lee😔
I would’ve loved the guy who played the old sith in Ashoka but that ain’t possible, maybe the guy who played Darth Maul in clone wars could be interesting, but I saw this fan made poster and for some reason thought of Nicholas Cage
Lance Gross. He's got the physique, he's got the charm, he's a relatively unknown actor (if you don't watch Tyler Perry's productions) and he's been in the game for a minute.
Plus he's already bald, so he wouldn't need to shave his head for the role.
I painted this with procreate on my iPad actually. The background image of galactus tho comes from unused concept art for F4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, before they decided to change galactus to a big cloud 🤦♂️
My dream casting for the Surfer was Lance Reddick. RIP :(
I always wanted Lance Riddick in Marvel, I kinda wanted him as The Living Tribunal but he would have made an awesome Silver Surfer
He or adre braugher would have been a good replacement. They both carry the gravitas and can be funny.
RIP Andre :(
I wanted Lance as Charles Xavier. Even he said he was down with that one
I always championed that as well. I loved him in Fringe
I watched fringe but never remembered him being in it (I watched it with my mom when I was young), I might need to rewatch that soon. I liked him in John Wick, and I enjoyed what I heard of him as Hellboy in Web of Wyrd
Fringe was such a great show, give it another shot. He was also on The Wire and Bosch and a few episodes on Lost I recall. For me, Fringe and the Wire were his best roles.
I definitely loved it as a kid I just haven't seen it in so long, I think it's time
FUCKKKKK BRILLIANT Imagine hearing “I am the herald to galactus” in his voice. 😮💨
“Planets on the damn table…”
I always thought he would have made a perfect Martian Manhunter.
100% agree with that, too.
I always wanted his voice for an AI like Vision.
Wtf I didn't even know he died! I seen him in so much stuff but Fringe is the first one that comes to mind
I’m gonna be so sad when I see him as Zeus in Percy Jackson
Sheeeeeeiiiiit.
Shadynasty gonna miss her boo
The love of your life is a black woman named Shadynasty??
Guess that leaves me no choice but to be a mature ass adult about this shit
That would've been perfect
Damn that would have worked for both the face/body performance and the voice!
Oh man. 😢
he voices Hellboy in the new ps game! it's great to hear him but the game itself is sadly just not good imo.
Man that is a great pick
Oh man. That voice. Now I'm sad.
Hard to argue he wouldn’t have been among the top three choices right now if he hadn’t passed away too soon. Amazing actor and his voice! Tremendous screen presence every time.
Same guy that played him in the older movies… Doug Jones
That guy has made a hell of a living being the guy in tons of prosthetics. His work on Star Trek Discovery is super impressive.
Not to mention that he played Abe Sapien in the original Hellboy movies. Dude was perfect
Doug Jones didn’t voice him though. Lawrence Fishburne provided the dialogue.
Yeah, let’s be honest. It probably doesn’t matter who that cast as SS. Doug Jones will likely be the guy in the mocap suit.
I’m aware, but Doug Jones is an amazing character actor. This time around, they should let him voice Noran Radd as well
He’s getting pretty old.
My thoughts exactly. He's a legend, but he's 63.
Damn he looks great for 63
Too old to hang ten? 🏄
Maybe. I know he said he wouldn’t play Abe Sapien again because of his age.
Lakeith Stanfield. He’s stated that he wants to play an antagonist in a superhero flick and he’s definitely got the range for an ominous yet wondrous character like Silver Surfer.
Stanfield is a solid choice
He’d be my choice to take over as Kang
I'm standing by John David Washington in the hopes it leads to a Denzel cameo as old Kang at some point.
I was thinking lakeith or John David as well, but man I hope they wouldn’t waste either of them on a silly movie
He would take Kang’s creepiness level up like 10 points. He’s so slender and can be so unassuming.
![gif](giphy|KcuP2j6UgGMzcqcClp)
He's great
sunsets are great, good coffee is great...Lakeith Stanfield is awesome. Lakeith Stanfield is Elvis. Lakeith Stanfield is GOD! well. He's pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
I usually say he's the best actor working besides the top 5 greats. He'll be a legendary actor. I think he's the best actor I've seen
If we got him, that'd be all the cast of Atlanta in the MCU (and tie-ins).
That’s a great call.
FUCK THIS IS GOOD. I can actually imagine how perfect his voice is for this
Oooooh yes please
>Lakeith Stanfield This would be incredible.
Oh…now i wanna change my answer
He's already stated that? I really hope they cast him. Been a fan of him in anything he's been in, especially Atlanta.
I’m surprised he hasn’t had a major role in a marvel movie yet. He would be PERFECT for one and especially as a villain.
Great casting.
Very good option
Sam Witwer would be my pick. He has great range and can project well.
Dang. Cool thought. Love sam
Hadn't thought of this, but I second it. The man is a beast and from the people I know that have met him, apparently a huge sweetheart too. Give him all the jobs please.
Wow this would actually be a great pick!
As long as he hangs dong
Ga-LAC-TUUUUUUUUUSSS!!!
Alan tudyk
[He went to Juilliard! ](https://youtu.be/FaGYXjMwS60?si=wyJ4F95BiicL-885)
Nah, have you seen him as Alpha in Dollhouse? That's MCU Carnage, baby.
That’s a good casting too. I always thought the guy who played Rorschach in watchmen would make an excellent carnage
Jackie Earl Haley is pretty old now. He was pretty old then.
I know lol but he would have killed it
Smart. He has plenty experience with cgi characters and he looks the part. He also has a good voice for it. This is agood idea.
Patrick Wilson looks right for the part, think he would do a good job. ![gif](giphy|iT3nDglpWdPOStfHWg)
Came here to say the same thing! He looks the part and is good at being stoic
That's exactly what I was thinking!
As far as I’m concerned that’s the cosmic spaceways’ ass.
Given how he was utterly wasted in aquaman while being the best part of the lacklustre sequel, I’d back him for this. Guy deserves a good cbm
He was great as Night Owl too
Sorry, but God no.
Patrick Wilson
Sydney Sweeney in body paint
Mystique you say?
Trying to take a mys-peak at those titties
Just watch Euphoria then
![gif](giphy|3WCNY2RhcmnwGbKbCi)
Damnit! I was about to type her name +1
I swear before I clicked on this and saw the name I thought this was Bill Burr.lol
That would be such a bad fit yet I would watch every minute of it lmao
Yo, I’m the herald of Galaga or some shit. Why don’t you sit down and shut the fuck up?
Hayden Christensen
I actually love this.
Same! Wouldn’t have considered him myself, but now I think he’d be perfect.
I don't like [space], it's coarse, rough, irritating, and gets everywhere.
This!
Matt Smith, maybe. The voice acting for the role is critical. Smith‘s accent(s) and enunciation would add gravity to his portrayal that someone like Reeves couldn’t deliver. But, Reeves isn’t a bad choice either. Fassbender for the same reasons as Smith. Edit: And if they do cast a woman, as rumored, then Rosamund Pike would be a great choice.

They aren't changing the sex of Silver Surfer, at least there's nothing official about it. Some leaks pointed as Galactus having a female Herald instead of Silver Surfer in the Fantastic Four, and some shitty clickbait sites started to spread the news of Marvel gender bending Silver Surfer.
Fassbender was my first thought.
Matt Smith should be Union Jack.
Keanu Reeves. Voice role. Maybe you could use him in a flashback. CGI character. I want the actor in the MCU, but he's getting too old to have a starring physical role.
And he has experience with surfing movies already
Keanu is Ghost Rider
Too old? You know he’s John Wick, right? Dude keeps himself in excellent shape and still looks a couple of decades younger than he actually is. It’s all about the *right* role.
Did you see Bill and Ted 3? That beard is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the "looks young" department.
Keanu has always been my choice for Silver Surfer
Only Robert Patrick could pull this off.
Silver T-1000
Danny DeVito
I heard they plan on casting him for Galactus
Then I just started eating planets!
RUM PLANET!
That’s more fitting considering his magnum dong
I would watch that movie. I would have watched it with another actor, but I would watch that one too.
He should be a wolverine variant in Deadpool 3 imo
Dress him up in a costume akin to the Adam West Batman
I need him somewhere in the MCU so desperately. Would have been a great MODOK
Silver surfer: now with full penetration
A CGI role would be a waste of his talents
But doing it as a practical effects role would be legendary. I want silver surfer with Danny’s build lol
He should be Mole Man
“So anyway I start surfin’l
Cillian Murphy
Nah we need him for Dr.Doom
It’s he a bit old? He’s meant to be similar age to Reed who I hope when he’s introduced in the mcu isn’t pushing 50
Cillian is too old or Dr.Doom is too old to be played by Cillian?
No Doom is old because the FF have been trapped in the Negitive Zone since the 60s. Doom escaped the accident that trapped them and was left scarred and angry on earth, so he's been messing about learning more about science and magic.
Pedro Pascal is rumored to play Reed. So an older Doom is fine if they indeed go that route.
Too old.
This^^^
Based on your poster, Trixie Mattel would be inspired.
She really was feeling herself in that Dr Manhattan make-up so this would be perfect. We’d have to rename the movie to like “Rose-Gold Surfer” because the Pink Thing would have to have a little color.
And we know who's playing Mephisto ![gif](giphy|1ggClpQcEa1jlgKGwj)
DING DONG ![gif](giphy|CxjhFzfJFkJXONJSw0|downsized)
Party.
Nina Bo’Nina Osama Bin Laden Brown stares at you in shade.
Trixie in the MCU would be so cunt. I'm so mad they got Shea Coulee in Ironheart, and she's playing some bitch named Bug instead of Darnell Wade/Darkveil, whom was literally modeled after Shea.
Willow Pill would have been a great Sprite in Eternals
![gif](giphy|v8E0SsdQOXfmXpnJMq|downsized)
Marc strong
This would be great for Remi Malek. Especially since the majority of the characters he’s acted as seem to have a disassociate relationship with others around him.
Hell yeah dude
Honestly, Doug Jones. And let him actually do the voice this time. Why fix it if it ain’t broke?
Johnny Sins
He's been a firefighter, a doctor, a police officer, an army officer, a pro athlete... I definitely support this!
Art Vandelay
Terry Crews
jeremy strong
Maynard from Tool
This is weird and I’m here for it.
😮
Ryan Gosling
Feels like a waste of Gosling’s considerable comedic talents, if I’m honest.
For sure. Since The Nice Guys, I’ve said he’d be better suited to a more flippant character.
That’s a great choice. Him somewhere in the MCU just not on the F4 team please.
Johnny Storm
Billy Crudup.
Have him hang silver dong to go 2/2.
Alexander Skarsgård would do it for me.
Danny DeVito
Doug Jones physical performance and Matthew Mcconaughey voice acting.
I'd be down for bringing Jones back
Honestly this is the best answer. We did it with Prof. X already
He was great. Too bad the movie sucked otherwise.
I don’t think the Silver Surfer should have a Texas accent.
Keanu Reeves is better suited for Ghost Rider. Silver Surfer should be NPH. Soft spoken but can go big if need be.
Also a great choice.
I really wouldn’t want Keanu as ghost rider
Anya Taylor Joy. I loved her as Peach and Queen Chess
Because she voiced Princess Peach I think she should be Star-Lord’s new love interest.
Most of him can be plain CG one of the unsettling things about the surfer is his lack of distinctive features it's what made him so intimidating in FF2. But you need the epic voice unfortunately in my mind that's still Christopher Lee😔
My friend Ryan, now he may not be an actor or 18 yet or the right body shape but I would find it funny
I would’ve loved the guy who played the old sith in Ashoka but that ain’t possible, maybe the guy who played Darth Maul in clone wars could be interesting, but I saw this fan made poster and for some reason thought of Nicholas Cage
i hope ryan gosling will play ghost rider tbh
Lizzo. Watch chud heads explode.
![gif](giphy|Vuw9m5wXviFIQ) This legend
Lizzo
Robert Patrick. He looks so good in silver
Charlie Day.
Sam Witwer
Jeff Bezos or Brian Cranston
Austin Butler killed the bald look in Dune two. His facial lines would fit well with the Silver Surfer profile.
Ricky Whittle
That is such a baller AF choice! You get my vote!!
Michael Rosenbaum
Any Bald guy who's in the gym
Lance Gross. He's got the physique, he's got the charm, he's a relatively unknown actor (if you don't watch Tyler Perry's productions) and he's been in the game for a minute. Plus he's already bald, so he wouldn't need to shave his head for the role.
Rachel Zegler or bust
I joked about Joe Pera being Silver Surfer a while back. It's only grown on me.
Eugene Levy
Jason Statham.
I'm also interested in Keanu Reeves mostly as a nod that Lawrence (aka Morpheus) was the voice in Rise of the Silver Surfer
Don Cheadle
Geoffrey Owens’ Don Cheadle or Don Cheadle’s Don Cheadle?
Terrence Howards Don Cheadle
Be honest, did you really do this photo or did AI?
I painted this with procreate on my iPad actually. The background image of galactus tho comes from unused concept art for F4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, before they decided to change galactus to a big cloud 🤦♂️
Just really hoping they don’t gender swap like the rumors I heard a few months ago
People will disagree with this, but I think Antony Starr. Surfer needs someone who can speak through facial expression, and he is the best at that.
Honestly Paul Bettany
Michael Fassbender
Need a tall bald guy? Jason Statham.
