Doug Jones Talks SILVER SURFER and GREEN LANTERN Movies


dougjonessapienDoug Jones has held some of the most coveted supporting roles in comic book film history, from the Silver Surfer In “Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer to Hellboy’s sidekick Abe Sapien. So when rumors start to fly about his involvement in upcoming  comic book properties, it’s all too easy to simply believe them.

Speaking with Itsjustmovies, the upcoming “Legion” actor revealed that while things have been quiet regarding the Silver Surfer, he’d be happy to hang ten in either another Fantastic Four film or a self-titled spinoff.

There are still a couple of years left on their option for two more pictures with me, as a three-picture deal is quite standard when starting a franchise-potential character. But with all the “re-boot” talk of the Fantastic Four, I have no idea where that leaves the Silver Surfer end of things. I would love to re-visit this character. I do love Norrin Radd, said Jones.

Even though the surfer is unlikely to appear in the “Fantastic Four” relaunch being scripted by Michael Green, there’s an entire universe of space-dwellers to play—most notably a rumored role in the upcoming “Green Lantern” adaptation starring Ryan Reynolds. According to Jones, however, he’s yet to receive an offer.

Am I going to play a part in the “Green Lantern” movie? I did hear such a rumor a couple of months ago, but no one has called me regarding this one yet. But if there’s a character I’m right for, I’d be quite interested to hear about it, said Jones.
