Oh, I was definitely thinking when I posted.
I like Pedro but yeah I don't really like him in this role.
We really haven't seen all that much of him. So I'm still hopeful that when we see the film as a whole, he'll be fine.
As this is purposely not an origin story they didn't need to introduce Norrin since that story was already told in previous movies. No reason to rehash something already done.
Additionally this is an alternate universe. As such this could easily not be the main silver surfer so if you’re really that upset about this @MickeyMouse10 they could introduce norin rad after secret wars.
I would hope they wouldn't try to retell the Galactus story again post-Secret Wars, and since Norrin is mostly tied to Galactus in the comics if he is gone then no need to have Norrin in the future.
Excellent point. I’m just pointing out one possible outcome.
Isn't this alternate Earth destroyed and they escape to MCU's Earth during the present day? That is why they weren't around for Thanos and no one has heard of them before.
That is the running theory. It’s unknown if this version of the silver surfer will be joining them.
From what I'm hearing the female one stays to serve Galactus. She does her job and lets her master chow down. We might see the male one in another movie. It's interesting they are letting Galactus scale up and down.
There was another Silver Surfer in the comics who was Norrin Radd’s wife, Shalla Bal.
Except it will be a billion dollar movie because of how big its first trailer was in the first 24 hours (202 million views globally) to make it the 10th biggest movie trailer ever, that it’s the one MCU film of 2025 that feels like a legit event, because it will give them the Fantastic 4 movie that Fox could never make, and because it’s the last movie before the next Avengers movie, which it will lead into with that last end credits scene bringing in Robert Downey Jr’s Doctor Doom, according to Jeff Sneider.
@MickeyMouse10 is right. Marvel is in a free fall right now and they better get this right. What is the purpose to show off a female Silver Surfer? Does Disney not care what the fans will think? This character is pretty much non existent in the comic books, period. Studios are bleeding money including merchandising so yeah, I thinks fans should tell the studios how make a film because they simply suck right now.
I have no reason to think the film will be a flop of any sort. But there is a chance it's not a billion plus film. If this film has great reception out of the gate, it should make it.
To be fair, phase 4 & 5 are mostly mediocre with more than a few bad. There's 3 legitimate really good movies in there. Spider-Man no way home, guardians 3 and Deadpool. So with their recent track record, I don't think it's that unreasonable to question their way.
Oh it will have great reception alright, since this film, unlike Brave New World, has had no behind the scenes drama, only a day of pickup shoots/reshoots/retakes like Deadpool & Wolverine, and is said to be a film that Marvel Studios and Disney have a lot of faith in like Thunderbolts*.
