The Fantastic Four: First Steps will mark the arrival of a fresh new take on Marvel's First Family joining the MCU, and with it will come Julia Garner as the herald of Galactus, aka the Silver Surfer. When the Emmy-winning Ozark star was announced to be joining the project, though, the unsurprising outrage began over the idea that (gasp) the Sky-Rider of the Spaceways was being genderswapped. Now, following a recent interview with the BBC, Garner has shared her thoughts on the reaction, while highlighting one crucial detail about her shiny alter-ego.
“I said, ‘I’m just going to still do my job,'" she explained when the internet got all in a tizz over the idea of a female Silver Surfer touching down on Earth to warn Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), The Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), The Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) what's coming. “Also, it’s Shalla-Bal, so it’s different.”
