Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer had a solid but not spectacular box office performance, and even though critics savaged it audiences still seem to like it. Moviehole says Fox is going to give the four another shot. Fantastic Four 3 has been greenlit, but MH’s sources tell them that the movie hinges on who they can team the Four up with. Apparently they liked the dynamic between them and Surfer, and don’t want to do another movie without some similar character to replace him.
As someone whose really enjoyed both movies, that’s kind of a bummer. I liked Silver Surfer, but I don’t think the Four need him in order to be successful again. It seems to me that Fox is vastly overrating his importance. I think most of the people who showed up for the sequel were there because they enjoyed the first one and wanted more of it. Not because of the shiny dude on the surfboard that Fox was intent on shoving down their throats with their marketing campaign.
Besides, how do they replace Surfer? They can’t use him again, can they? Word is that he’s on his way to a spinoff into his own franchise. None of the other members Fantastic Four’s gallery of allies and bad guys is nearly as interesting as the ones they’ve already covered. We’re there to see the Four anyway, not whoever it is the studio inserts into the movie to capture some specific demographic.

About the part with the surfer being gone, YOU COULD MAKE SOMTHIN UP AND BRING HIM BACK! OMG people they do this in hollywood all the time. Take the time in POTC when Jack seemed to die and then they made somthing up to say he survived!
ok so far i have noticed that almost everyone here has said that FF needed to team up with others. well if they do that u might as well change the name cuz it wont b the FF any more. and if there is gunna b a team up of of others well good luck with that. i for one didnt like the doom char it wasnt at all what i thought a villian aould b. it was blah..... plain.
I think they can do the silver surfer again coming back to help them stop Galactic, cause galactic can not be destroyed, but pushed as the silver sufer did, and the watcher should appear and help the hero's get the thing that will make galactic leave, and also turn a new female into that fire female hero.
Also they can do the incredible Hulk Vs the Thing where the Hulk fights the fantastic four under the control of Doctor Doom, but Dr. banners female cousin turns into She Hulk with some of his DNA in her, and she become the things new lady and new member.
I would like to see the mole man in the next movie.............have strt out showing dr doom getting his butt kicked then show him getting slung in the ocean then show him going to the bottom of the ocean then let him get caaught by the mole man in a giant cage and doom breaks out and have them creating a army of mole creatures and a few giant ones.......the fantastic four get over run with them and eventually have them getting the crap kicked out of them and captured when bruce banner comes in sets them free and turns in to the hulk and beats the crap out of everybody and catch doctor doom and put him in the imperium
No one forgot that the Black Panther came out of the Fantastic Four, we just don't care. He is a 2 dimensional, lame, throway character. What little popularity he has is based purely on the politics of racism.
what do you think Mr. Stan Lee?.....
will your name be in the invitation list or just passing by again? hehehe that's the funniest part in the Rise of the Silver Surfer
surf up dude!!.
more Fantastic Four if they must ^_^ cheers
I think the 3rd movie is a go and its going to have the Silver Surfer in it. Reason being that, if you watch the end of the 2nd movie, after the last scene cuts out, it shows a few credits. Than another scene comes in that shows Silver Surfer floating through space. As he goes infront of the camera off screen, HIS EYES OPEN!
Fantastic Four 3 should have an alien invasion of Earth by the Skrulls. It could be epic. Cameos by Doom because hes the coolest villian they have by far.
i think the best idea would be to revive hulk and things hatred of each other and have dr.doom trick the hulk into thinking the ff were bad and have the hulk kick the shit out of the ff until the hulk finally realizes dr.dooms the bad guy and have the ff and hulk kick dr.dooms ass
Let's face it. They were still trying to make the Incredibles 2. Tim Storey needs to be booted. I actually had a coorespondense with him on one of the things that was wrong with FF 2. He was defensive, I was right.
Most of the kids that I talked to thought it was silly and 4 3 year olds, short and weak.
Simply follow the Spider-man formula. Serious, somewhat dark, TONS of action and CGI (Spidey 2+3).
If you do that, they will come.
Inhumans would work but, Gotta add a world threatning menace. The Trolls maybe.....btw, not in some kinda cloud...duh. Boot Doom and Storey. If they have not got it correct by now.
Fix Sues face she was FINE in first one. Fix Ben, he can be more orange if they like but rock like also. And Torch has to look like the Torch.
Again, at least 2 hrs, good story, dark at the correct times, Tons of action and CGI.
i think that ff1 and 2 were both awesome movies ,but on part one they should of made the fight against the ff and mr.doom last longer in the fight ...he didnt even try to best them...still its a great movie..cant wait till part 3 comes up!!
namor could be cool, but the mole man would be awesome. imagine the team fighting an army of molites on the big screen. something a lot of you need to understand with some of these crossovers is that different companies own the distribution rights to different characters. until these contracts expire there are a slew of team-ups that are just impossible. as for those of you who thought the jokes should have been left out. have you ever read a ff comic? they are the cheesiest group of super heroes in either major universe. these movies really showed that you can stay true to the base of the characters, make adjustments where you see necessary, and still make a great comic movie.
I loved FF1 and 2, i loved the comedy and family unity between the group.
i would love to see (and own the DVD)a new fantastic four movie and more!.
i would also love to see spiderman make an appearance somehow.
my favorite character is the torch and the thing and thier relationship, its just so dam funny.
very enjoyable films, satisfied me like the x-men movies, but i want more!!!
I believe that Fantastic Four 3 should be a battle royale like X-3 was. Come on now, we all know everyone loved the final fight scene where Storm, Wolverine and the other 4 X-men taking down an army of mutant enemies.
Forget the "other" hero involvement and the "allies" just get the Fantasic Four (which are the best heroes hands down) back to back surrounded by an army of Skrull aliens or in-humans and make sure that if this is the last movie they make with the best heroes Stan Lee thought of, then they need to go out with a bang that knocks everyone off their feet and keeps us wanting more.
Inevitably, the Fantastic Four have too many enemies to have this writers block of a good villian and a story line. You have Skrulls, Namor and the world of Atlantis, In-humans, Puppetmaster, Moleman, Dragonman and many many many more, hell if they need an extra writer, I will help them free of charge, the best payment would be to see the Fantastic Four at its best.
Joker teams up with Doom. Franklin Richards born. Add Power Pack. Ben quits FF because Alicia in danger. Surfer rises from dead and is now a zombie. Ben comes back to FF when Joker traps Alicia.
Sub mariner seems a good choice and the money grubbers could use it to spin him off into his own franchise. Whoever it is i think they should definitly continue the series. It's one of the few that haven't gotten all serious and morose. I like the batman films but just cause they're big money makers doesn't mean all hero movies have to be the same tone. My favorite hero is Superman and Superman returns got trounced in the fan opinion area cause it wasn't dark or not enough action? Saving a plane is boring? Get real. The F.F. movies are in that same category and it's not fair. They are incredibly fun movies which is what they should be. They don't take themselves too seriously and despite politically correct moves like "ethnicifying" Alicia, they did a good job of getting the characters down. I love ben and Johnny's relationship-just like in the comics. And even though Chris Evans is being a negative, unsupportive douchbag about the possibilities for another film, his Johnny was right on the mark! So absolutley another FF! it would be a shame to lose this series because of the post 911 "dark" phase in movies.
Both FF movies were unbelievable, great, fantastic. We continue to need more FF movies and glad another one is in the making. Yuo only have to look at the early comics to find storys and villians. I believe the menace of the mole man, the sub mariner, and the watcher helping the FF to thwart the mighty Galactus from wrecking the universe is in order also. Of course we can't leave out the inhumans. But remember this, The incredible Hulk is still around. What about a battle with Hulk vs The Avengers and Fantastic Four, eventually all teaming up to battle aliens bent on destroying all live on planet earth. How about with the end of earth at stake DC helps with the Justice League unlimited. Hey, there in NY too! You think Marvel & DC could team up for all out war to save the earth?
FF 2 ends with Doom falling into the water. This is an obvious setup to introduce the Sub-Mariner. The Sub-Mariner/Sue Storm love story and Atlantis invasion would be a great movie. With Dr. Doom manipulating it all, of course. Who should play Namor? My pick would be The Rock. Think about it.
i really think they should make a movie with all of the marvel characters they already made movies on.one big royal rumble with the marvel universe they have done already ;eg..bring back The X-men,Spider-Man,Dare-Devil,Blade,Ghost Rider,The Punisher,The Hulk,Iron-Man and The Fantastic Four.....get my drift all in one big marvel fight,especially if the Hulks in it.what a movie that would be.if the moneys there,make it.
