Silver Surfer Movie in Active Development at Marvel Studios?

Marvel Studios is reportedly developing aSilver Surfer movie. The news comes after Disney successfully acquired Fox earlier this year. All of the Marvel Fox properties are now under the watch of Kevin Feige, who has already announced a newBlademovie and teased theFantastic FourandX-Menfor the future. However, he did not mention aSilver Surfermovie when he made the avalanche of Marvel Cinematic Universe announcements during San Diego Comic-Con and the D23 Expo a few weeks ago.

According to sources, Marvel Studios may beactively developing the Silver Surfer movie. With that being said, the sources are unnamed, so this will have to go into the rumor pile for now. But, a movie based on Norrin Radd would be huge and Kevin Feige is more than likely the right choice to see it through. One has to really wonder if Feige even sleeps with all of the projects that are currently in various stages of development at Marvel Studios.

Step Brothersdirector andAnt-Manco-writer Adam McKay has expressed interest in a potentialSilver Surfermovie. He spoke about wanting to be a part of the project back in 2018, but at that time, the movie didn’t seem like it could ever happen at Marvel Studios. A lot has changed in a year. McKay had this to say about the project last year.

“Silver Surferis the one I want to do, man. I would do anything to doSilver Surferbecause, visually, you could do what the Wachowskis did withSpeed Racerwith theSilver Surfer. At the same time, there’s a great emotional story in there, man, where Norrin Radd (Silver Surfer) has to make the choice to save his planet. That would be the one, but I think Fox owns the rights…”

TheMCU’s Phase 4is up next and will start with the long-awaitedBlack Widowstandalone movie. The next phase will have a lot of MCU TV shows on the Disney+ streaming service and will wrap on the big screen by the end of 2022. WithBladeandGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3on the way, there is still a ton ofroom for X-Men,Fantastic Four, and hopefullySilver Surfertoo. We’ll just have to wait and see what the highly secretive Marvel Studios chooses to share publicly in the next few months.

In addition to theSilver Surferrumors, it has also been said that Tyrant and Galactus are coming to the MCU. Both characters fit into the Norrin Radd’s story, so there could be some official announcements coming soon. TheSilver Surfermovie news comes to us from theGeeks WorldWide, who generally have a pretty good track record when it comes to their sources. But, even ifMarvel Studiosis actively developing the movie, we won’t know until a director and writer is in place.
