So the rumor is Anya Taylor Joy will be playing SILVER SURFER in the Fantastic 4 MCU movie.
Yeah I think I'm done
That cannot happen. No offense but just a total miscast if that is the case.
Don’t you need to like see how it is before making this judgment?
Generally yes, but the Silver Surfer has a definite image that is ingrained in reader's minds and she doesn't fit it. That large of a mismatch right off the bat would be difficult to overcome.
Nova is another powerful character, but does not have as iconic a look as Silver Surfer and I think she could do fine in that role.
Only thing ingrained in my mind is a super shiny silvery
dude. Wouldn't recognize any facial features I don't think
Yep, that's what it is. An imposing silvery dude, rather than a willowy silvery woman. It's akin to the people who did not like Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, because they just didn't fit the source material. The Reacher from the TV series met people's expectations.
She's a fine actress, I just don't think she is a good choice for this role. Again, most people have no idea what Nova looks like so there wouldn't be a built in disconnect, so I think she would have a higher probability of success in that role.
