When The FANTASTIC FOUR Return To Marvel Studios, Laurence Fishburne Wants A Role

At the Ant-Man and the Wasp premiere, actor Laurence Fishburne let it be known that even though he already co-stars in the MCU as Bill Foster, aka Black Goliath, he's got his eye on a Fantastic Four gig.

Did you know that in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, veteran mo-cap actor Doug Jones was the on-set actor of Norrin Rad while Laurence Fishburne provided the voice? And whenever the deal for Disney to acquire Fox becomes final and the FF4 return home, Fishburne wants to play one of the newly acquired characters - this time, a villain.

"Well, you know this is not my first time in the MCU: I was actually the voice of the Silver Surfer. And if they ever go back to that again - if it was a villain - I would love to do Galactus."

Fishburne reportedly made the comment during the Marvel Entertainment live stream of the Ant-Man and the Wasp premiere last night. Do you think The Matrix actor would provide a great voice for the world-devourer?  Chances are high that if Marvel Studios gets their hands on the character, he won't just be some inauspicious cloud this time around.

As recently reported, Disney added cash to their bid, bringing the total purchase price to  $71.3 billion - a direct counter to Comcast's aggressive tactics to acquire 20th Century Fox. With the studio accepting the bid, the last hurdle is getting antitrust approval from federal regulators.

not sure about this but i'd love to see galactus on screen at some point. not necessarily in a fantastic four movie (perhaps not as the main villain though) but more like thanos as an overarching villain, in an avengers movie

@MeAreLegend - How can you make him an overarching villain? With Thanos you had the Infinity Stones and all, but this guy, as powerful as he is, eats planets. His story isn't really that complicated unless you go the Earth X route where he's an alternate Franklin Richards who consumes Celestial Eggs.

Fishburne, James Earl Jones, Andy Serkis/ Galactus has to have the voice of an angry God

I always imagined Galactus having a more Orson Wells/Unicron voice. I'd be happy to see how Larry does as Galactus

I would love this! Just to hear him say "For I am that which has always been, since this Universe was birthed from the ashes of the last. I am the hunger that dooms worlds. I am he who is beyond such frail Concepts as good and evil. I am Galactus."

Bring him back as the Silver Surfer. Just do it.



One of my favorite comic book characters that doesn't get nearly enough love.

@L0RDbuckethead - Matthew Goode to be the face and body of Silver Surfer.

@Repian - Great choice. He's already had some CBM experience, so that's a bonus.

@L0RDbuckethead - I'd agree except that Marvel loves their mo-cap cgi characters so you can bet they'll want someone younger and spryer to mo-cap Silver Surfer so as to get some really awesome surfing stances for him. So promoting LF from herald to master makes a certain sense, and we still get Fishburne's cool-ass voice as Galactus. All he has to do is stand there all stoic in that purple space armor and talk. Besides, you know if we get Galactus we're sure to get Silver Surfer too. If LF wants the Big G, I say he should get him.

@Atomicockroach - "If LF wants the Big G"

Haha this made the entire comment worth reading. I totally agree.
