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."
Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal on the set of ‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS’ for additional photography in Los Angeles.
The main cast of the movie includes Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the Thing.
