In an interview with Moviehole.net, Fantastic Four 2 director Tim Story has indicated that getting an actor to portray The Silver Surfer for the upcoming Fan-Four flick may not even be necessary.

“The Surfer will be a new CGI design being developed especially for the movie. It’s going to be incredible,” revealed Story.

This puts an end to the rumor that actor Vin Diesel would get the nod to play the man hanging ten on the cosmic wave. “No truth to it”, Story said, when asked about the Diesel rumours.

The Silver Surfer is a galaxy-cruising defender endowed with superhuman strength, who is able to control and direct cosmic energies, with enough force to destroy a city.

Initially, he was going to front his own picture (and probably will, sometime in the future), but the studio has decided to team him up with “The Fantastic Four” for his first movie out of the gate.

Look for “The Fantastic Four 2” in theaters om June 15, 2007 with all the players from the first film returning to reprise their roles.
