After rumors of a Silver Surfer MCU project being made hit the web, fans are wondering if a new movie based on Galactus’ herald is being made and which actor could play him. Here is all you need to know.
Is a Silver Surfer movie being made at Marvel?
A Silver Surfer project is reportedly in development at Marvel according to an industry insider.
According to a semi-reliable leaker and industry insider Daniel Richtman (Daniel RPK) via Patreon, Marvel Studios is reportedly developing a Silver Surfer project. However, it is not known if the project will be a film or a television series.
Despite this exciting news, fans must take it with a grain of salt and wait for official confirmation from Marvel Studios.
Who could play Silver Surfer in the new movie?
There are multiple actors who can take on Silver Surfer in the MCU.
Although Silver Surfer has not yet been cast in the MCU as of writing, there are many actors who can take on the role thanks to their impressive acting abilities. The following names have popped up in various fan castings:
- Keanu Reeves
- Cillian Murphy
- Matt Smith
- Zachary Quinto
- Riz Ahmed
Keanu Reeves is an excellent choice for Silver Surfer as he has shown his talents as an action star in the John Wick movies and as Neo in the Matrix franchise.
Cillian Murphy is another great choice for the role due to the dramatic weight that he has injected into his roles in Peaky Blinders and 2023’s Oscar-nominated Oppenheimer.
Zachary Quinto is yet another good choice for Silver Surfer. Through his portrayal of Spock in the recent Star Trek films, he displayed a personality somewhat similar to Silver Surfer’s in the comics.
Matt Smith and Riz Ahmed are two other great choices to portray Silver Surfer, as shown by their performances in various film and television projects like Doctor Who, House of the Dragon, Sound of Metal, and Nightcrawler, respectively.
