Fox's Fantastic Four sequel has already staked out a July 2007 release date, which means we should start hearing some comic book tidbits before too long. Oh wait, here's one: the cult-favorite Silver Surfer character is scheduled to be a participant in the follow-up! According to Variety, "A Surfer feature has been in Fox's arsenal for a decade, but the studio waited because project is so ambitiously f/x-heavy and Fox has been busy with other Marvel franchises. But a studio spokesman denied that anything was set and that the Surfer was one of several plot possibilities. Fox wants to be sure a guest-starring stint doesn't wash out future feature plans.
