So I know nothing about Silver Surfer and Galactus. How do these two compare to Thanos in terms of power and danger?
With a fully powered up Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos wrecks. Otherwise Galactus would curbstomp him. And Surfer would win probably 75% of the time.

So who is Peter Dinklage playing in the movie?

Galactus

I am always at risk of being decades out of date with my comic book opinions but I really didn't think Silver Surfer would be more powerful than a Thanos with 1 or 2 gems in his infinity guantlet.
FWIW Dinklage was already used in the Xmen Marvel universe but another little person would make sense for Modok if not PD.

Maybe The Watcher gives Galactus a heads up that Thanos is wrecking shite again.

The Silver Surfer wields the Power Cosmic, granting him superhuman strength, endurance, and senses, as well as the ability to absorb and manipulate the universe's ambient energy. The Surfer can navigate through interstellar space[67] and hyperspace, which he can enter after exceeding the speed of light.[68] He has proven capable of time travel on several occasions, even able to make others time-travel with him.[69] The Surfer sustains himself by converting matter into energy; does not require food, water, air, or sleep (although he occasionally enters a sleep-like meditation in order to dream); and can survive within nearly any known natural environment, including deep space, hyperspace, and within black holes[70] and stars.[71] The Surfer can project energy in various forms for offensive and defensive use, including force fields, bolts of cosmic force powerful enough to destroy entire planets,[72][73] and create black holes.[72] He can utilize the Power Cosmic to augment his superhuman strength to indeterminate levels.[74] The Surfer can heal living organisms, though he cannot raise the dead,[67] and he has proven capable of revitalizing and evolving organic life on a planet-wide scale.[75] He can cast illusions,[76] create interdimensional portals to other locations including microverses,[76] phase through solid matter,[67] and exercise some level of control over the Astral plane.[77] His senses enable him to detect objects and concentrations of energy light years away and to perceive matter and energy in subatomic detail, including life energies of living beings.[78] The Surfer can even see through time, and with concentration he can achieve limited perception of past and future events in his general vicinity.[79] He has demonstrated telepathic ability, including mind-reading on occasion,[80] and has proven to be able to influence human emotion and sensation.[67] The Surfer's board is composed of a nearly impervious, cosmically powered silvery material that is similar to his own skin. The board is mentally linked to the Surfer and moves in response to his mental commands even when he is not in physical contact with it.[81] The board is nearly indestructible, but on those rare occasions when it has been damaged or destroyed, the Surfer has proven able to repair it, or even recreate it, with little effort.[39] The Surfer can attack opponents remotely by directing the board against them, and the board is capable of absorbing and imprisoning other beings, at least temporarily.[82]
The Surfer could whip Superman in a heartbeat. Thanos would have to get really lucky to beat him without the gauntlet, but could maybe still do it. Maybe.

He did. And every celestial being in the Marvel Universe, up to and including the fabric of the universe itself (personified as a dude with stars and galaxies for skin). They all got whooped by a gauntlet wielding Thanos.

Probably the dude that forged the Infinity Gauntlet and will forge SPOILERS BELOW

It's Hugh Jackman.

When you read the assorted powers of the mega powerful heroes and villains it always becomes a bit ridiculous.
Anyway, the way he was portrayed in the comics left me with the feeling that he was more powerful than the Surfer, but not Galactus, without the gauntlet. And more powerful than Galactus with the gauntlet.
I guess a third generation eternal mutant (if that's indeed what category he falls into) versus a herald of galactus kinda seems rapidly hard to view as much of anything other than a cheat mode versus a cheat mode: Thanos without the guantlet has time travel, indestructibility, mega-genius intellect, yada yada yada. Hela comes to him for help when she wishes to claim Hel.
Discussing the powers of comic book beings rapidly does make me feel a bit silly these days though. I partly feel like Thanos has to be more powerful just because he's generally a bad guy and one of the baddest of the bad in the universe.

They probably wouldn’t make the Surfer as powerful as he is in the comics. He would still likely be one of the most powerful characters they would introduce in the MCU. I don’t read much comics but from what I’ve learned about Surfer he’s probably one of my favorites along with Spider-Man. I think I read where he was Stan Lee’s favorite too. As far as power goes:
1. Silver Surfer
2. Captain Marvel
3. Hulk/Thor
Strictly speaking good guys there. I’m sure they would make him really powerful but still afraid of and much, much less powerful than gauntlet wielding Thanos. I’d say movie wise they make Thanos and Surfer pretty even, though Thanos is low-key pretty smart

While very powerful, he never really seems to be a good guy or bad guy. He seems to be just this mega powerful guy going about a job. No real personal agenda or anything.

Reminder that the Celestials appeared in Guardians through some trade with Fox (which is probably why they only appeared briefly). So unless the Fox deal is done, we might just be seeing the SS in a short flashback.

Considering how much they screwed up the Silver Surfer in the FF movies, I could not be more excited. The Surfer is probably less powerful than Thanos with the Gauntlet, but he's absurdly powerful (which is why his comic is best when it leans into absurdity).
But it seems we're bringing the whole Jim Starlin cast together: Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock, Silver Surfer, Drax, and Thanos. All we need is Super Skrull.
And Captain Marvel will be set in the 80s/90s, but I'm willing to bet it ends with her going to the Kree Empire or the Negative Zone which would have kept her off the board for decades while also preventing her from aging. She will come back from the wherever to modern day in the Infinity War, and likely be a relative Deus Ex Machina to save the day in Avengers 4.
The best fan theory I've seen is that Nick Fury will recruit Ant-Man, Wasp, and Hawkeye (the three not on the poster and coincidentally, with their own movie coming out) to find Captain Marvel to aid in the Infinity War, which the Avengers will be losing badly. Ant-Man, after finding the original Wasp in his next movie, will be familiar with alternate dimensions. Captain Marvel will be the one to turn the tide, and then later replace the retiring (dead?) Captain America and Iron Man.

Would be awesome, this was my main complaint in the other threads, how could you have the Infinity War without Silver Surfer.
Posted on 3/21/18 at 9:36 am to JinFL
Well, the original Infinity Gauntlet was primarily a fight between Thanos and Adam Warlock. It's actually pretty talky without a ton of action, despite, ya know, half of the universe's population dying in the first issue. It's that Thanos is so powerful, no one dares move against him. They more spend the miniseries trying to convince him Death doesn't love him and he needs to put things back to what they were.
