Synopsis
FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER is the second part of the live-action film series and Tim Story returns to direct this sequel where The Fantastic Four meet their greatest challenge against the enigmatic, intergalactic herald, The Silver Surfer, comes to Earth to prepare it for destruction. Wreaking global havoc, it's up to The Fantastic Four - Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) and Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) - to save Earth before all hope is lost.
The Silver Surfer joins the returning family of superheroes from the Marvel Comics universe, Reed aka Mister Fantastic, who can stretch and contort his body into any shape he can imagine and, as the group's leader; Sue Storm, who is able to render herself invisible and to create and project powerful force fields as Invisible Woman; Johnny Storm, known as The Human Torch, who can engulf his body in flames and take flight at will; and as Ben Grimm aka The Thing, who transmutes into a rock-like, superhumanly strong being. Julian McMahon reprises his role as the Four's steely-eyed, iron-fisted nemesis, Dr Doom as does Kerry Washington playing Ben's love interest, the blind sculptress Alicia Masters again.
Recent Emmy®-winner Andre Braugher joins the cast as General Hager, a tough Army official who seeks the Four's help in combating a global menace, and Beau Garrett, who appeared in Fox Atomic's debut film TURISTAS (USA) aka PARADISE LOST (UK), plays the general's aide, Captain Raye. And Oscar-nominee Laurence Fishburne, whose many credits include THE MATRIX and MYSTIC RIVER, voices the Silver Surfer.
