In an interview with AICN, Ioan Gruffudd who played Reed Richards in the Fantastic Four and will return to the role in the sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer has been speaking about the upcoming movie.
When asked about the Silver Surfer, the Welsh actor said ‘I think the fans will not be disappointed. It is as he arrived in the comic books. He’s an ambiguous character. Is he the protagonist or evil, or just the messenger of evil? We’re not quite sure.’
On the subject of the whether the planet-devouring supervillain Galactus will appear in the film, Gruffud said ‘Um…his presence is felt in the movie. He doesn’t physically appear, no. Galactus does have a form, doesn’t he, in the comic books?’
