While speaking with BBC at the London premiere of the film, Garner was asked about the initial reaction of some fans who thought a man should play the Silver Surfer. The &quot;Wolf Man&quot; star said that she did not think much of the discourse and focused on delivering her best version of the character.<\/p>\n<h2>Reaction to the Character<\/h2>\n<p>&quot;I said, &#8216;I will only do my job,&#8217;&quot; she said about the counter reaction. She also noticed that she played a variation of the character and added: &quot;It is also Shalla-Bal, so it&#8217;s different.&quot; Shalla-Bal, which was first seen in &quot;The Silver Surfer&quot; #1 in 1968, is the female counterpart to Norrin Radd, which was presented in &quot;Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer&quot; in 2007.<\/p>\n<h2>Background on Shalla-Bal<\/h2>\n<p>In the comic book series, Shalla-Bal is a significant character, and her introduction in the film brings a new perspective to the story. The Humanoid Alien was played by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne in the 2007 film. The reaction to Garner&#8217;s Surfer was overwhelmingly positive after the first &quot;Fantastic Four&quot;. Garner said she was excited to see the hype of fans.<\/p>\n<h2>The Cast of Fantastic Four<\/h2>\n<p>The film features a talented cast, including Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic; Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, also known as the Invisible Woman; Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch; and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, also known as the Thing. Ralph Ineson plays Galactus, while Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and John Malkovich round off the lineup.<\/p>\n<h2>Garner&#8217;s Thoughts on the Role<\/h2>\n<p>&quot;I was only glad that people resonate with it like any other project,&quot; added Garner. &quot;I am grateful to be a part of this dance, to be honest with you.&quot; Garner&#8217;s enthusiasm and dedication to her role are evident, and her performance as Shalla-Bal is highly anticipated. With the positive reaction from fans and the talented cast, &quot;The Fantastic Four: First Steps&quot; is expected to be a exciting and action-packed film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Julia Garner&#8217;s Role Julia Garner doesn&#8217;t care what people think about playing Silver Surfer in &quot;The Fantastic Four: First Steps&quot;.
