Then Surfer rebelled against Galactus and became enemy to him, eventually becoming a good guy.
I'm really stoked that the Silver Surfer is in the new sequel but why have Doom return??? Dumb. They should have Galactus there instead.
Anyhow, I'll be there to see this movie definately.
I thought the Fantastic Four movie was unfairly bashed. It was a fun popcorn flick.

This movie could be good. If they're going to use Doom again, I hope they actually make him something other than just a pretty boy who shoots energy. They got his megalomania right in the film, but not his genius. He's a mental peer to Reed Richards, but he goes around using a rocket launcher? Talk about pathetic.
Also, I wonder if this film will introduce The Watcher, one of my personal favorite Marvel Comics characters.

As for the numbers in sequels thing, I read an article in EW that said studios have shied away from that the higher the number the more likely people are to stay away. I guess it's better that people don't know its a sequel. But there is Spider-Man 3.

With two major antagonists, I smell another Batman Forever.

I liked the 1st one so I'm ready for this one.
So does this mean Galactus will appear? Galactus is one of my favorite characters from that other comic company.

I'd love to see another one if they actually fleshed the characters out.
I thought Silver Surfer was a good guy. No?

I enjoyed FF and this sounds like an interesting concept, but seems that it would be a an expensive movie to make. I mean, yeah Spiderman justifies spending that type of money since it is shown to be able to bring back the money, but does FF? I remember it doing ok in the theatres but not astronomical.

You were this close to nailing it.

If there's one thing that's good about Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, it's that director Tim Story seems to be doing all he can to ensure folks actually like this one. Recently, Story stopped by his blog to give an update on the film. Here's a quick recap of said update:
Right now, Story and the gang are working very hard at improving Michael Chiklis' (The Thing) suit in an effort to make the character more agile. Most of these changes came based on the fan's reaction to the way The Thing looked in the first film. One such fan-related change comes in the form of a bigger brow. Oh, and the dude will be wearing more clothes too. Says story, "Now that he's comfortable with himself, we can have more fun with his appearance. Wait until you see him in his tux."
According to the blog entry, it seems Julian McMahon (Dr. Doom) is not only back onboard for the sequel, but his face will actually be seen ... not just heard. This announcement looks to be garnering a ton of mixed messages from the fans, as Dr. Doom isn't supposed to be seen. Could we be talking flashback here? What do you think?
Another controversial move has to do with the altering of Dr. Doom's mask. Story notes, "There's a more evil tone to it. I've been working on a maquette of the entire Doom look, complete with armor with my friends at Spectral Motion (the guys who brought you Thing, Beast, Juggernaut, Hellboy, etc...) The look is madd cool. I think you guys will like it."
And, finally, on The Silver Surfer: "Yes, now the question that I keep getting asked too many times...Doug Jones or no Doug Jones. Here's the low down. Doug has been working on a number of things regarding the Surfer. In order for the presence of the CGI SS to appear and move real, we need someone to perfect movement and provide a base, to which WETA can do their thing. That the jest of it. I don't know what that confirms for you guys but there you go."
