Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer[c] is a 2007 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Fantastic Four. The sequel to the 2005 film, it was directed by Tim Story, from a screenplay by Don Payne and Mark Frost. The film stars Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis as the title characters, with Julian McMahon, Kerry Washington, Andre Braugher, Beau Garrett, Doug Jones and Laurence Fishburne in supporting roles. The plot follows the Fantastic Four (and Doctor Doom) as they confront the Silver Surfer to save Earth from Galactus.
The film was released in the United States on June 15, 2007 to generally mixed reviews and grossed $301.9 million worldwide and was a box-office success, but earned less than its predecessor which grossed $333.5 million worldwide. A third film was planned but ultimately cancelled. The series was rebooted in 2015 with the release of Fantastic Four to poor critical and commercial reception. Marvel Studios eventually reclaimed the film rights of the characters, along with the X-Men and Deadpool, after the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney. Evans, who would portray Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), reprised his role as Johnny Storm / Human Torch in the 2024 film Deadpool & Wolverine.
