Avengers Infinity War shock: SILVER SURFER confirmed? Look who is playing him

It seems almost impossible that there is room for any more characters in Avengers 3.

The culmination of Marvel Phase 3 is already bursting at the spandex seams.

Only last week, Peter Dinklage was confirmed on the latest poster, even though there are still no details about what role he will be playing.

A new cast list has just added Silver Surfer to the extraordinary line-up, played by a relatively unknown actor. 

Metacritic just added Silver Surfer to their listings for the movie, played by actor and director Curt Clendenin.

The 44-year-old made an early screen appearance as one of the orphans in The Blue Brothers and has mainly had small background roles in movies like Legally Blonde.

Even with the expected CGI or motion capture process to create the character on screen, Silver Surfer will be the biggest role of his career.

Silver Surfer has apeared on screen before in the poorly received 20th Century Fox movie, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

The Herald of Galactus has phenomenal strength and abilities, thanks to possessing a small part of the planet devourer’s Power Cosmic.

He easily dealt with the FantasticFour in his previous big screen outing, so it will be fascinating to see how he fits into the mighty array of heroes and superbeings in Infinity War.

If Silver Surfer does appear, it opens up the tantalising possibility of Galactus also crossing into the main MCU now that Disney is in the process of acquiring 20th Century Fox. 

AVENGERS INFINITY WAR IS OUT ON APRIL 26
