Regarding whether her MCU debut will be live-action or computer-generated imagery, Julia Garner has discussed her role as the Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four: First Steps. In Fantastic Four: First Steps, Garner will play Shalla-Bal, a female version of the legendary Silver Surfer and the romantic interest of Marvel Comics’ more well-known Silver Surfer, Norrin Radd. There hasn’t been much of a sight of Shalla-Bal leaving the Fantastic Four: First Steps set thus far, so the details of her job beyond serving as Galactus’ herald are still to come.

Absent any sneak peeks, Garner herself has described Shalla-Bal’s costume while talking to ScreenRant about Wolf Man, stating “It’s shiny.” There is a reason why some might expect Garner’s character to be rendered with practical effects, after all, as set photos seemingly reveal that they will be used for Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Thing. Garner remains coy about the finer details of what can be expected of Shalla-Bal’s appearance on-screen, however, suggesting that fans will have to “Wait and see.”
