According to WENN, the giant planet devouring character Galactus will show up toward the end of the FANTASTIC FOUR sequel.

"I don't want to give too much away but I will say this: Galactus will appear and fans will not be disappointed," said Fox chairman Tom Rothman.

The film is set to be released next year and will feature one of Marvel's most celebrated stories: the battle between the Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four, until the Surfer switches sides and fights against his master, Galactus.

I was really dissapointed with the first one, but if they do this one right and adapt this famous episode of comics well it could really be something special. Just to see Galacticus on the big screen will be worth it and I have always found the Silver Surfer to be one of the coolest marvel characters of all time.

Don't let us down on this Fox and make this a movie we will never forget!!!

Hopefully this will mean more work for the very capable folk at WETA...

They really need to take Galactus beyond the comic book and make him more godlike. As powerful as he's made out to be, at the end of the day, he still looks like a giant guy with a purple waste paper basket on his head.

here is the only issue...... I am pumped about the Surfer and Galactus, but if Galactus looks like the big purple Galactus from the comic it is going to be pretty awful... kinda like a really bad character from the Power Rangers or something, and if they deviate to far from the Galactus we know and love it will just not fit what fans are looking for... this is a very tough character to adapt to the screen, gotta say though, can't wait to see how they pull it off.

This is some great news. I am also looking forward to seeing how WETA and co, represent Galactus. And you guys are right, its not really going to look that great if its the comic version. It looks cool on paper, but on the big screen it may be sort of Power Rangereque. Maybe they won't actually show his whole body. They could just show his ship and have the omnipotent voice. The dude is huge. It wouldn't be so bad if he looked more like one of the Celestials. Its just that purple suit and big helmet, like BucketHead from the new GNR.

mdmanic999 and ponyboy76 are right; if Galactus is portrayed on the big screen like he is in the comic book, FF2 will become the next Power Rangers movie. But, if he's changed too much long time FF fans will cry foul. Make godlike, just don't pull a Star Trek 5 and show a big talking head. That would be too cheesey. It definitely reads like there's going to be a part 3 where the FF battle Galactus. That would be a great movie if they cameo a couple Marvel heroes they own the film rights to like Dr. Strange and maybe even Iron Man and Thor.

The first movie was fun, but definitely missed the mark for a great comic book movie. I'm hoping Story learned a few lessons and hits this one out of the ballpark!
