Galactus Being Saved for Silver Surfer


From SHH, Possibly one of the biggest disappointments for any comic book fan seeing last year's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was that the world-devouring entity known as Galactus was barely shown, looking more like a giant storm cloud than the immense being with the spiked headpiece and purple outfit that we've come to know and love since his introduction during Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's run on the characters.

Well, have no fear, true believers, because the planned Silver Surfer prequel movie will give the fans what they want, a much better look at Galactus, at least according to the film's screenwriter, J. Michael Straczynski, who mentioned this at his Wondercon Spotlight panel.

As Newsarama reports from the panel:

For what the Silver Surfer movie entails Straczynski says it will cover the origin of the character. He said it will feature Galactus, noting that the latest Fantastic Four film held off on showing Galactus to reveal him for this film.

Hmmm. I don't have total faith in the Babylon 5 guy's ability to do this right. I'm also a bit skeptical that they stuck FF2 with a cloud of rocks as part of a long-term plan. I think they're just pretending their earlier bad idea was a plan now.

Just like Lost does!

(Kidding! I'm kidding.)
