In recent weeks, rumours were filtering around the Net that Vin Diesel could be up for playing The Silver Surfer in "The Fantastic Four 2" which is one of the reasons why his action vehicle "Transit" got canned.
That rumour? Not true says Moviehole. Director Tim Story confirmed that although The Silver Surfer is indeed in the movie, it won't be Vin Diesel playing him - "No truth to it. The Surfer will be a new CGI design being developed especially for the movie. It's going to be incredible".
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.
