In 1980, producer Lee Kramer floated the idea of a Silver Surfer rock opera that would feature the talents of Sir Paul McCartney.
The Big Picture While the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been in constant expansion since 2008, one of the most iconic Marvel heroes from the comics is still to take his place inside the franchise: the Silver Surfer. Sure, he already had his live-action debut a year earlier in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, but that's far from the best that could be done with the character.
In 1978, the duo came up with the graphic novel The Silver Surfer, which would be adapted into Kramer's movie. In this new story, Norrin Radd is still the herald for Galactus but is touched by humanity when he comes to Earth and recognizes the race's potential, so he decides to leave the cosmic entity's services. Infuriated, Galactus creates a female counterpart to the Silver Surfer, a golden woman called Ardina, to try and lure him back.
In 1980, Kramer reached out to Paul McCartney to try and get him to feature in the movie's soundtrack, although it's never been exactly clear in which capacity, but likely providing the score. He got in touch with McCartney's management, and the former Beatle was interested in joining the project.
The Silver Surfer Graphic Novel Was the Last Time Stan Lee and Jack Kirby Worked Together Unfortunately, Lee Kramer's Silver Surfer movie never got made as financing eventually fell through, and the character never had his own adventure on the big screen after Rise of the Silver Surfer. There was never even any director or screenwriter attached to the project, despite Kramer having mobilized Stan Lee and Jack Kirby to write the 1978 graphic novel.
