Doug Jones as the 'Silver Surfer'
Although rumors that Doug Jones will reprise his role as the Silver Surfer in the upcoming Marvel Enterprises Silver Surfer movie are at this stage false, information has emerged that Doug Jones is, at the very least, still under contract to play the Silver Surfer.
Jones confirmed as much during an exclusive interview with It’s Just Movies, verifying that he’ll remain under contract for either two more years or for two more films as the Silver Surfer, whichever comes first (which, no doubt, will be the two more years).
From It’s Just Movies:
Where are we on another “Silver Surfer” movie?
Doug Jones: Your guess is as good as mine … probably better. There are still a couple of years left on their option for two more pictures with me, as a three-picture deal is quite standard when starting a franchise-potential character. But with all the “re-boot” talk of the Fantastic Four, I have no idea where that leaves the Silver Surfer end of things. I would love to re-visit this character. I do love Norrin Radd.
Casting on Silver Surfer won’t start until a green-light is given to the script, which is currently in active development at Fox. Until then, whether Jones’ options will be exercised by the studio or not remains unknown.
Silver Surfer is slated for release in 2012.
