Marvel and Fox executives told SCI FI Wire that a planned Silver Surfer movie is in serious development as a project to be started after "Fantastic Four" and the next "X-Men" film, which begins production later this summer.

"We're just starting, and we are very excited. We are finishing [Fantastic Four], and the next thing we'll go on our way to Silver Surfer." Silver Surfer is based on the character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1966: a metallic being who travels through space on a sleek board.

Fox Filmed Entertainment Co-Chairman Tom Rothman added "I think the tricky thing on Silver Surfer, which hasn't been resolved yet, is the nature of the Surfer and to what extent digital work is used and to what extent it isn't and that's the fundamental difficult decision....but it's a project that we're very very high on."
