The trailer with footage of him in action goes live later today, but for now USA Today has revealed a first look at the titular character in "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer".
Using Gollum-like CGI motion capturing techniques, the appearance of the character "will look somewhere between gun metal and fluid metallics so you can see the body motion, the breathing, the muscle tone, the mood" says Marvel Studios CEO Avi Arad.
After striking a deal with the evil Galactus to save his planet, the once-human Surfer wreaks havoc throughout the cosmos and his mood is a key component of the story - "He is a highly emotional being, trapped inside fluid metal".
