10 Predictions For Fox's Upcoming Marvel Movies
2. The Silver Surfer Will Return
The number of Marvel Comics characters at Fox's disposal outside of the X-Men franchise is relatively small, so it makes sense that the studio will take full advantage of the ones it holds the rights to going forward.
The Silver Surfer is one such character and the fact he's been sidelined all these years is baffling. Granted, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was kid-friendly trash, but Norrin Radd deserves another shot at big-screen success.
A Silver Surfer movie would be rich in cosmic imagery and philosophy, an in-depth look at the human race through the eyes of somebody who's not a member of it.
The Surfer is capable of commanding his own franchise if his reintegration to Fox's superhero universe is handled correctly. Doctor Doom's solo movie and the eventual Fantastic Four reboot present cameo opportunities.
But there's a chance Fox will just go for broke and announce a Surfer Solo film in the future. The studio is known to make bold decisions and Guardians of the Galaxy proved that sci-fi and comic books mix well on screen.
