Marvel getting desperate

well if true the internet will love this
========================

Marvel's Fantatstic Four is reportedly casting a woman for the role of the Silver Surfer.

In the comics, the Surfer is a humanoid alien with metallic skin who can travel through space with the aid of his surfboard-like craft. When his travels took him to Earth, he met the Fantastic Four, who helped him rediscover his nobility of spirit.

In the 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, staring Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd and Chris Evans, the Silver Surfer is portrayed by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne. The movies were then remade in 2015 starring Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan.

Now, casting is said to be underway for yet another reboot and as fans eagerly wait for the casting updates, reports have claimed that Marvel Studios will have made the character into a woman for this new iteration. Industry insider Jeff Sneider recently appeared on an episode of The Hot Mic with Jeff Sneider and John Rocha and spoke about the Fantastic Four cast, saying: "Yes, you can expect to see a female Silver Surfer.”...........

Why not just do Norrin Radd now, and Nova later? Will they swap Nova as well? If so, what's the point of swapping in the first place? If not, why not?

Let's say you own a steakhouse. You have a loyal customer base (comic fans) who have been coming to you for years, expecting the same quality and product, and you have always delivered that expected product to them. Everyone is happy. The restaurant makes money, the customers eat their fill of something they enjoy. Then one day you decide, "I will now serve everyone a pork chop, even though they all want and expect the steak we have always delivered to them, just because". Why would the restaurant expect their life-long customers to be happy with that? That's what this feels like... casting the Silver Surfer as a woman "just because".

Who is asking for SS to be a woman? Where is the outcry for him to be cast as such?
