Julia Garner, who plays the female Silver Surfer in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, addresses the role for the first time. The actress teased that her character’s appearance would be “really shiny,” like in previous portrayals of Silver Surfer and in comic books.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Garner spoke about her role but remained tight-lipped, saying, “I can’t really speak a lot about that project.” She shared her excitement, saying, “The Fantastic Four are fantastic… I’m very excited for people to see them.”
Garner said, “I can’t really speak a lot about that project.” Garner added. “All I can just say is that I’m very lucky to have a part in that project, and the Fantastic Four are fantastic. They are so amazing in this. I’m very excited for people to see them. I’m assuming that this Silver Surfer is gonna be really shiny like in the other previous ones and the comic books. So, yeah, that’s all I’m gonna say.”
Filming recently wrapped in Spain, and the movie is now in the post-production stage.

The film stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles.
Here’s the plot details for The Fantastic Four: First Steps:
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/The Thing—as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god named Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, things suddenly get very personal.
The film is produced by Kevin Feige, Grant Curtis, and Nick Pepin.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps will hit theaters and IMAX on July 25, 2025.
