Following up on my post from last week, it looks like Andre Braugher’s role in the second Fantastic Four movie has been confirmed:
On the heels of Variety briefly reporting that Andre Braugher has left an episodic role on NBC’s ER for a role in the Fox sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, many fans were wondering which role he would play. Would it the The Puppet Master or The Silver Surfer? Yes, the latter is a bit of a stretch. Blackfilm.com has learned that Braugher will play the role of the military general in the sequel. Filming is scheduled to start on August 31, 2006.
Guess I was wrong about the Puppet Master, which would have been a hell of a lot of fun.

Reading casting news always gives me pleasure. It means the movie is still on and I’m never completely sure we’ll get a movie until I see the trailer. And even then.

I think he would have been a brilliant Silver Surfer, but they’re most likely just going to have a voice for CGI.

Oh man, Andre Braugher…he is just one of the best actors I’ve ever seen. Homicide is probably my favorite show of all time, and he’s a huge part of why.

He won the Best Actor Emmy on Sunday. Yep, he would have made a great choice for Puppet Master.

With the way they’re talking about him…. he might end up being Puppet Master after all. His role is supposed to be large… and remember Batman Begins:
Liam Neeson was cast as “Henri Ducard”…
by act 3, we realize he’s Ra’s Al Ghul.
Just sayin’.
