Commanding character actor Andre Braugher is the latest to join the cast of "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," but Fox isn’t telling us who the guy’s playing!

From Variety by way of IGN FilmForce: "Braugher dropped out of a supporting role in an "ER" story arc in order to join the Marvel-Fox sequel, reports Variety. Forest Whitaker will replace Braugher on the long-running medical series. Braugher was most recently seen in the short-lived FX series "Thief," as well as the captain of the doomed title ship in this summer’s "Poseidon."

"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" is in pre-production, gearing up for an Aug. 28 start date in Vancouver under the direction of Tim Story."
