Julia Garner defends her role as Shalla-Bal in Fantastic Four, fans come to her defence and trash Marvel's CGI instead
This year has been a rollercoaster for superhero films. James Gunn officially took over the DC Universe and released a new Superman that's been met with mixed reactions. Over at Marvel, fans are still riding high on the unexpected success of Thunderbolts*, a gritty anti-hero ensemble that's been praised for bringing fresh energy to the genre. But now, all eyes are on Marvel's Fantastic Four reboot—especially after the reveal that a woman is now playing the Silver Surfer. Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal Actor Julia Garner, best known for her roles in Ozark (2017) and The Wolf Man, is stepping into the role of the Silver Surfer. Some fans weren't thrilled about the gender switch, questioning why a traditionally male character wasn't being kept that way. But Garner? She's unfazed. Speaking to the BBC at the London premiere of Fantastic Four, the 31-year-old actor addressed the backlash head-on: 'I said, 'I'm just going to still do my job,'' she said, choosing to focus on the work rather than the noise. Garner also pointed out that her character is not a direct reimagining of Norrin Radd, the original Silver Surfer, but a different take altogether. 'Also, it's Shalla-Bal, so it's different,' she added. For those unfamiliar with the comics, Shalla-Bal first appeared in The Silver Surfer #1 in 1968. She's often portrayed as a female counterpart or love interest to Norrin Radd. This means that Garner's casting isn't a total rewrite, but rather a dive into a lesser-explored character from the source material. Netizens react Now, there were definitely a bunch of comments that trolled Garner's casting. 'Is there reason the more iconic version was not used?' was one comment on X. Another said, 'Poor herald choice to open the franchise with.' One more comment read, 'No. She is a terrible character. They didn't wanna a male herald. Fine. Pick a good female one. They couldn't even do that.' And since female characters taking on roles traditionally played by men are often met with resistance from cult audiences, it's no surprise Garner feels defensive about hers. But after a thorough scroll on social media, it's noteworthy that many of the comments were quite supportive of Garner's role, even going so far as to research the origin of her character, Shalla-Bal. 'Not gender swapped. It's Noran Radd's wife. Comic accurate,' said one. Another claimed, 'Comic accurate so the only people who care are outing themselves as fake fans.' One more comment said, 'People are unnecessarily upset about her casting. She is a great choice, and none of us has even watched the movie yet. Also, the Silver Surfer has a female version in the comics, and she is playing Shalla-Bal. Those who are complaining should take some time to read the comics before jumping to conclusions.' Furthermore, many are claiming that the outrage is not about the gender-swap, it's about the CGI. 'It's not about the Gender swap. It's the CGI,' claimed one comment on X. 'Only issue I see is how awful the CGI is- I can't believe that CGI seems to actually have gotten worse,' read another comment. About the film The upcoming film will mark Fantastic Four's official entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Set against a retro-futuristic 1960s backdrop, the movie will follow the group as they embark on some of their earliest missions. As for the cast, it's stacked with big names from the industry. Pedro Pascal stars 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). Ralph Ineson plays Galactus, with Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and John Malkovich rounding out the ensemble. The movie is set to release on July 25.

Julia Garner Defends Her Role In New Fantastic Four Film: ‘Going To Do My Job'
Last Updated: Julia plays a different version of the character, named Shalla-Bal, a female Silver Surfer, as per the Marvel Comics. Julia Garner is not paying much heed to what people think of her playing Silver Surfer in the upcoming movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. This marks the first time the character appears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, following its debut in the 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Back then, the character was voiced by a male actor, Laurence Fishburne, and actor Doug Jones appeared as Norrin Radd / Silver Surfer. In the new movie, Julia plays a different version of the character, named Shalla-Bal, a female Silver Surfer as per the Marvel Comics. Even though this version is true to the comics, the actress received a considerable backlash from the fans for playing the character. And at the London premiere of the new Fantastic Four film, Julia addressed the criticism. During a conversation with the BBC, she shared that she did not pay much attention to the discourse and focused on her performance. She said, 'Oh, well, you know. I said, 'I'm just going to still do my job." The 31-year-old actress also reminded the fans that she is playing Shalla-Bal, not Norrin Radd, who is the original Silver Surfer from the comics. 'Also, it's Shalla-Bal, so it's different," she mentioned. Julia's character was first seen in The Silver Surfer #1 in 1968, a female reiteration of Norrin Radd. She also acknowledged the hype for the film, saying, 'I was just happy that people are resonating with it, just like any other project," Garner added. 'I'm grateful to be at this dance, to be completely honest with you." The Fantastic Four: First Steps, directed by Matt Shakman from a screenplay by Josh Friedman, Eric Pearson, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer, is scheduled to hit theatres on July 25 in the US. The film follows the Fantastic Four's journey to save their world from the planet-devouring cosmic being Galactus and his herald, the Silver Surfer. Besides Julia, the superhero action film stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm / Invisible Woman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm / The Thing, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm / Human Torch, Paul Walter Hauser as Harvey Elder / Mole Man and Ralph Ineson as Galactus, with addition to Matthew Wood voicing the Fantastic Four's robot companion H.E.R.B.I.E.
