New BTS pictures from the recent reshoots of The Fantastic Four: The First Steps are out and give us a better look at Julia Garner's Silver Surfer. Garner will be making her MCU debut in First Steps and will be playing the Shalla-Bal version of the Marvel hero.

In the picture, we see Garner wearing a stunning blue and white dress standing near the shoreline. This is most likely a flashback sequence from the film that shows how Shalla-Bal became Galactus's herald.

Silver Surfer is the herald of the world-eater Galactus and is sent to find worlds for him to devour. In the comics, Shalla-Bal is the empress of the planet Zenn-La and willingly takes on the mantle of the Silver Surfer in exchange for Galactus sparing her world.

In a recent interview, Julia Garner spoke about how she prepared for the role: “I have some friends that know how to surf, and they showed me some moves before I went out to London to just kind of get the body position of it all. And then I realised shortly after I was in London that I used some surf moves, but then I also used a lot of what I saw in the comic books."
