Julia Garner to Play Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer in Marvel Studios' FANTASTIC FOUR Reboot
Fantastic Four has found its Silver Surfer. Julia Garner will play a version the classic character, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
WandaVision director Matt Shakman is directing the feature, which stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing.
The film has a release date of July 25, 2025 and is rumored to take place in the 1960s, the era in which writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby first introduced the Fantastic Four, the super team that launched the Marvel Universe in comics. Eric Pearson, known for Black Widow and Thor: Ragnarok, is the current writer on the film.
The Silver Surfer was introduced in in Fantastic Four No. 48 as the herald of Galactus, a planet eating entity, though that version of the Surfer was an alien astronomer known as Norrin Radd. Garner is said to be playing a different surfer known as Shalla-Bal, who was the lover of Norrin Radd.
Garner is a three-time Emmy winner for playing Ruth Langmore in the Netflix series Ozark. She also earned an Emmy nomination for leading Inventing Anna, the series about real-life con artist Anna Delvey. Coming up, she has The Wolf Man due out next year from Universal and Blumhouse.

Silver Surfer will be played by a 90 lb female that looks like a trailer park junkie.
Disney going to Disney.

- They already did Doctor Oc, Green Goblin and Juggernaut.
Those are all great villains, and Willem Dafoe was amazing in No Way Home, but Doom is top.

They have never made a good F4. But with Disney involved you can be confident it will be DEI bullshit. This is a different surfer though, just wish they chose someone more interesting.

TBH, I don't think it matters who plays what. Disney is insane for sinking any money at all into this long rejected franchise, at a time where comic book movies are on their last legs. It will bomb terribly with or without Disney injecting wokeness into it.

The first two were in Sony movies and the third was in Fox.
Yes, Doc Ock and Goblin were great in No Way Home, but that was a joint Sony - Marvel production. Deadpool and Wolverine looks great, but I suspect that's due in no small measure to Reynold's having the clout and willingness to tell Disney to go fuck themselves if they try to interfere.

Do yall really take all of these articles and tidbits of news that serious?
We have no clue how things are going to look/play out in the movie, and how big of a part each character will play in the film.
We're in a cinematic universe that is here for the long haul. The Fantastic 4 are staples in Marvel. Every heavy hitter doesn't need to be rushed out into the debut movie.
The criticism doesn't even make sense when it comes to Shalla Bal because she is Silver Surfer's woman, and it would make sense for her to be the gateway to introduce him.

Now she's the legit Surfer's (Norrin Radd's) fiance, who is a tall black haired blue eyed woman in the comics. Man, not that doing the Coming of Galactus story with Nova instead of the Surfer would have been good, but they really dropped the ball in not just having her play Nova.
I mean what they could have done was have the Surfer and Galactus come to Earth as normal, The Surfer strikes up a bond with Frankie Raye (Nova) like he did with Alicia Masters in the comics, The Surfer turns on Galactus, Galactus means to punish The Surfer for his betrayal and consume the Earth, but instead Frankie offers to become Galactus' herald in The Surfer's place and lead Galactus to other worlds thus making a sacrifice for both The Surfer and The Earth. It would have been a great tragic ending. Frankie's humanity helped The Surfer turn on Galactus to save the Earth, but then Frankie sacrifices that very same humanity for The Surfer and her home planet.
I mean the movie isn't out but I don't think it's a huge stretch to see this casting direction as a bad one.

Yeah, I don't know about that. I think it has already been a long haul, and is on it's last legs. The money is drying up with Marvel. They won't be pumping $200 million dollars into these projects for much longer. This movie tanking(which I assume it will. F4 has always been lame, and found it hard to reel in an audience), will be one of the final nails. For a while, anyways.
