Which of these would you most like to see when FF2 opens? (See poll.)

Is he going to be in the movie then ? It would be the classic look in that case, even though I must admit it looks kinda goofy at times, especially when he is depicted with short trousers

What I would like to see and what I will probably see are two different things. I would like to see a "version" of Kirby's Galactus, but I understand, as shiryu pointed out, that it would have to be modified. I could deal with some combination of all of the above choices.
What about a depiction of some type of force, animated but without clear-cut form, that somehow pays homage to the purple, headdress-wearing Big G?

I voted 'unseen presence' because you know that they would just screw up any kind of literal interpretation of the Big G. And besides, a giant dude in a purple and blue skirt with a big head-dress thingie IS pretty goofy when you think about it.

The director and producer have both, in separate interviews, stated that Galactus will be in the movie... sort of.

If it ain't a big guy in purple with a wicked helmet -- then it's Galactus in name only, and an abuse of the name.

He could appear in some kind of vision only, like Jo Rel in Superman Returns... even if they use CGI for him, I think they would need an actor behind it (heck, they used one even for Gollum in LotR...) and there is no notice of it so far.

I voted for the big purple guy, but what might also work is a kind of wavering presence, that shifts form and has images within it - one moment the big purple guy, the next an alien landscape, then a geometic pattern, and so on. Never the same thing twice and always in motion.

Ain't it cool news and other sources are now saying that the form of Galactus will be.....
a storm cloud.
This just sounds lame to me. Although I was one of the few here who didn't feel big-guy-in -funny-purple-helmet would work, there's gotta be something better than a storm cloud. Why not just show the outside of his space ship? Or some sort of energy cloud with a vaguely human face? There's probably a hundred things better than a storm cloud.

Actually, I already know what it is. Y'know the novel IS out, guys.
[spoilers, if you don't want to know, do NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT read:]
In the novel at least it's basically Gah Lak Tus, BUT there's a big twist which is that it actually leaves open the possibility of there being a Galactus out there. It's a colossal armada of swarm ships, but they are mindless drones and Surfer talks about making a deal with Galactus, so it's implied the drone armada is simple what Galactus uses to consume planets. The drones all home in on Surfer's Surfboard, which is how he acts as Herald.
Now personally, I used to scoff at the idea of the big Kirby Galactus, but Marvel: Ultimate Alliance convinced me it could work because of how fearsome he is in that in Kirby form. I wouldn't have MINDED Gah Lak Tus because while the comics were horrible, the idea is actually not all that bad, just not as good as the original. This hybrid is... hmm... well it's not too bad but it's not great. At least it's no storm cloud.

This is one where I have to stick with the original. Anything less than the Purple Planet Eater just won't sit right and will probably result in my throwing my goobers (chocolate covered peanuts you pervs) at the screen.

Bad move, Nutcase... if Galactus is hungry enough he may zero on whatever goobers you're left after you spill them... which would be whatever your wife left you to begin with, if she's anything like most wifes I know...

Maybe Stan Lee could play Galactus, complete with a huge "G" on his chest...!!!

But if there is an actual person at all portraying the Big G, I would propose Kane, from the WWE... He's not a complete novice at acting, after all, having already starred on some horror flick...

I would say self-help guru Tony Robbins, he's huge.

I want the big guy too, but for a movie, it might not be as visually appealing as it is in the comic, so I voted for a new Movie Version. Hopefully it takes all the important elements of the G-man from the comics over the years and finds a way to put the most important parts in.

no, it's a quote from the link.
It's clear to see that the majority of us want the old standard, so the majority of us will be dissappointed. Unless this is some sort of misdirection.

Let me say this, in my IDEAL world they'd do Galactus rather than Gah Lak Tus... but they'd give it the build-up of Gah Lak Tus.
I feel the Gah Lak Tus build-up was truly horror movieish, which it should be. For those unfamiliar....
- A broadcast simultaneously beams across every single TV station, every giant screen, every mobile phone and computer screen on Earth
-It shows aliens looking into the sky in awe and horror as a hideous red light glows on the horizon. Close-up of their round, horrified eyes.
-A thousand voices whisper in the local language "There is no escape, it comes, it comes and there is no escape.... no escape... all the stars go out...
-The aliens are vaprized in blazing flame as thousands of keening wails like babies screaming and dying sound.
-The Screens Go Black.
Now obviously that would bump up the rating to a 15 or whatever and, like I said, VERY MUCH horror movie. But that's what I would love, that would literally send chill;s running down my spine. It should hammer home the implications of Galactus' arrival, the sheer horror of what is descending on Earth, exactly what the planet faces if it cannot triumph. Even if it was just a warning on every screen in the world, without the sickening last steps of what happened in Gah Lak Tus (and led to hundreds of suicides across the world), it would still be awesome to behold.
