Also getting sick of Pedro Pascal, seems like very uninspired casting. He is a fine actor, but not good enough to explain the number of jobs he is getting

His worldview aligns extremely well with a lot of the people in charge of these things. Perhaps therein lies part of the answer?

It's not real.

You have to be careful about who's publishing a trailer--if it's not the studio making the film then just assume it's fake, or as Screen Culture likes to call them "concept trailers."  :eyeroll:

IIRC she was a surfer along with Norrin in the Universe X storyline. So, not really gender-bending, just not following the traditional storyline. I'll hold out judgment until I see the film.

For obvious reasons, I'd personally prefer Silver Age stories and characters in the FF movies.  There are plenty of good stories during the first 100 issues of FF.  Nevertheless, I'll continue to hope this will be good and Ms Garner will bring the kind of gravitas to the Silver Surfer he had in the comics.

If you'd rather at some dude's package in the skintight Surfer suit there's nothign wrong with that. However speaking for myself and bulk of the potential audience for the film I'd much rather stare at a shapely female form with potential cam3l t0e in the taut Silver. BTW's I'm positive Lee and Kirby would agree with me!

You must be thinking of the wrong chick...besides being quite possibly the homeliest actress in follywood she has the body of a prepubescent male.

Glad I stopped being excited about this years ago.

I'm not technically against gender bending and race shifting per se, as long as it is applied equitably, but I can't help but notice that the changing typically involves the removal of white male heterosexual roles. Do I need to ask for some clarification on what the message is here, if there even is one? GOD BLESS ...

... for example, why isn't Jean Grey being morphed into a white male womanizing pervert?

That's what I mean by "checking an inclusivity box."

Some executive these days always has to say, "Forget about 50+ years of the comic character being (established example), we don't have enough (women, black, Asian, Hispanic, etc) in this movie! We need to change that character so that we have enough or we'll get roasted by society!!!"

It's ridiculous. Make an original movie that checks all those boxes and stop screwing with the version of the character that made it popular enough for a movie in the first place.

Not to worry.

Someone will find a quote from decades ago Stan Lee originally meant for Silver Surfer to be a female. So this is just honoring his original vision. (see: The Mutants vs. 61 years of The X-Men)
