The Silver Surfer will indeed be making an appearance in the recently announced Fantastic Four sequel, but will not be played by a live actor. Director Tim Story has revealed that the Silver Surfer will be completely CG which could obviously make or break the infamous superhero - if he turns out to be another well handled character such as Gollum was in Lord of the Rings then perhaps he could add something enoyable to the decidely boring Fantastic Four formula, but if is done badly (which it is definitely leaning towards), he could end up being as tacky as the Hulk so sadly was.
