Julia Garner of Ozark and The Americans fame is joining the MCU 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fantastic Four reboot movie as the Silver Surferܫ, according to a report from . But rather than playing the original Silver Surfer, Norrin Radd, she'll reportedly be playing a version of the character based on Shalla-Bal, Norrin Radd's lover and the ruler of the planet Zennꦏ-La.
If that all sounds like mambo jumbo to 🍸you, here's the qu🃏ickie version of the Silver Surfer's origin story.
When Norrin Radd's home planet 𓄧Zennཧ-La was targeted for consumption by the planet-eating entity known as Galactus, Norrin volunteered to become Galactus' herald, to seek out other worlds for him to devour.
Accepting the deal, Galactus turned Norrin Radd into the Silver Surfer, imbuing 👍him with the hard-to-define 'Power Cosmic' and forcing him to leave his home of Zenn-La and his lover, the planet's ruler Shalla-Bal, behind forever.
Silver Surfer eventually leads Galactus to Earth, where the Fantastic Four must find a way to deter Galactus fro🐈m destroying the planet.
So if Julia Garner is playing Shalla-Bal as𝔉 the Silver Surfer, will Norrin Radd be cut out entirely, or will their places be totally swapped? Or will it be like the alt-universe comic story Earth-X, where Norrin and Shalla-Bal were reunited, with her also being imbued 🙈with the Power Cosmic?
Whichever way it goes, the presence of th🍸e Silver Surfer in the Fantastic Four reboot movie also implies the presence of some version of Galactus.
Both characters appeared in 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Sur🍌fer, in which the Silver Surfer was physically portrayed by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne, and Galactus himself appeared as a massive cosmic c﷽loud rather than a giant in purple armor.
Garner joins 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the film's core cast of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mister Fantasti💫c, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/the Human Torch, and E🐻bon Moss-Bﷺachrach as Ben Grimm/the Thing.
Fan🤡tastic Four 🐭is scheduled for release in July 2025.
The original Galactus Saga is one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Fantastic Four stories of all time.
