I went to my local cinema to get a ticket and Friday is all sold out, but Saturday had prime seats in the afternoon so took those. Very excited to see this.

Bought my tickets for the Friday 10:40PM. I'll be on a social media blackout from the prior Thursday showings. I can say without a doubt this is the most excited for a movie I have ever been in my life.
I did read about that today. The speculation is how accurate can the cast list be considering the actor is practically a nobody playing a major character? Of course the actor could be playing the character pre-superpowers in a cameo. Or as a stand-in during one of the post-credits scenes until a bigger name actor is found for later films. Like how that wasn't Josh Brolin playing Thanos at the end of the first Avengers movie. Hmmm.
"Metacritic tells Marvel Studios News that they ingest all of their movie and cast data from IMDB. Metacritic does not allow edits by their users on their site. IMDB does, however, so if an IMDB user adds a character/actor on that site, it’s going to populate on Metacritic. Garbage in, garbage out, and so on.
Before you head over to IMDB looking for Silver Surfer, I already checked. You won’t find Silver Surfer or Curt Clendenin listed on the IMDB pages for Avengers: Infinity War or Avengers 4.
Metacritic could not account for the discrepancy. They did agree with our own supposition, however, that an IMDB user could have added the Silver Surfer to the Infinity War page, causing Metacritic to ingest that information, before the listing was subsequently removed, perhaps for inaccuracy. Metacritic updates its information from IMDB frequently, but it does not always account for new additions, or information that has been removed.
Metacritic noted that they have had incorrect cast/movie information in the past, only without this much attention.
In summary, the Metacritic listing for Silver Surfer in Avengers: Infinity War came from an IMDB listing that no longer seems to exist"
