Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (June 2007) is the film that introduced one of Marvel's most visually spectacular and philosophically complex cosmic characters to mainstream cinema audiences, and its legacy has only grown more interesting in the years since its release. Directed by Tim Story and starring loan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis reprising their roles alongside Doug Jones as the Silver Surfer and Laurence Fishburne providing his voice the film follows the Fantastic Four facing an existential threat when the Silver Surfer arrives on Earth as the herald of the planet-devouring cosmic entity Galactus, with Reed and Sue's long-delayed wedding constantly disrupted by the end of the world. The film grossed $301.9 million worldwide and earned mixed reviews, with a third film planned but ultimately cancelled, before the series was rebooted in 2015 to poor critical and commercial reception. With the MCU's Fantastic Four: First Steps arriving in 2025 starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, a new generation of audiences has been introduced to Marvel's first family, making this earlier iteration feel like a genuinely different era of superhero filmmaking. Chris Evans, meanwhile, traded the Human Torch for Captain America's shield just four years later and never looked back. The Silver Surfer deserved better. He always has. #FantasticFour #SilverSurfer #ChrisEvans #Marvel #20thCenturyFox

A multiplier needs two things: a trustworthy publish date and a duration. At least one is missing on this record (on Instagram the publish date is often just the collection time) — so we are not making a multiplier up.

All of it comes from the API. If a value is missing you see a dash — nothing is estimated in its place.
📈 Growth history
The real view record that builds up as we measure the video again and again.
Only a small share of the videos in our pool have more than one real measurement. This one was measured once (or always at the same value) — rather than drawing a meaningless flat line, we say so.
The record holds 130 measurements but they all carry the same view count: repeated readings, not real movement.
