The Ozark actress made her debut as the Silver Surfer in a new trailer for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”.
In the footage, her character is seen arriving on Earth to warn the Fantastic Four that their planet has been marked for death.
Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) then flies toward the Silver Surfer and grabs her board, only for her to knock him away and send him flying back toward Earth. A few more shots of the Silver Surfer are shown throughout, including one of her flying on her board through an explosion. Laurence Fishburn previously voiced the Silver Surfer in 2007’s “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.” But in “First Steps,” Garner will be playing a female version of the character named Shalla-Bal, who is the herald of Galactus.
“First Steps,” which hits theaters in July, marks the Fantastic Four’s long-awaited debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s also the characters’ first time on the big screen since 2015’s “Fantastic Four,” a notorious bomb widely considered one of the worst superhero films of all time. After Disney acquired Fox in 2019, Marvel Studios gained the rights to try its own rendition of the characters and bring them to its film universe for the first time.
