Alba confirms 'Fantastic' addition

Jessica Alba has revealed details about the next Fantastic Four movie, confirming the entrance of a key character - the Silver Surfer.

"We start Fantastic Four 2 in August," Alba told USA Today. "The four of us learn that there are other people out there with superpowers, and the Silver Surfer appears as a villain/hero. And another villain comes in as well.

"My character, Susan Storm, has another love triangle and may use a power people haven't seen before. She's the most powerful of the four."

The first film's other heroes - Ioan Gruffudd, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis - are attached to reprise their roles.

20th Century Fox are aiming for a June 15, 2007 release.
