We are introduced to the female Silver Surfer, played by Julia Garner, a humanoid alien with a metallic skin. She can travel through space with her surf-board like craft. For those who are wondering why the Silver Surfer is a female in the film, a Hindustan Times report states that Marvel is not gender-swapping Silver Surfer in the film, but are introducing a new character into the role. For those who don’t know, Silver Surfer is Norrin Radd, someone from the utopian planet Zenn-La, who sacrifices himself to save his world from Galactus. The report adds that Garner will be playing the role of Shalla-Bal, Radd’s beloved in the film.
As the residents look towards Marvel’s First Family, that is The Fantastic Four team, they reassure everyone that they will save the world. With the tensions being high, we even get a glimpse of Galactus, a cosmic entity that consumes planets to sustain his life force.

Well, the trailer has left the fans certainly ecstatic as they are gushing about meeting the first family. They took to the comment section of the trailer and expressed their excitement. One wrote, “Love the fact that kids like the Thing instead of being scared or make fun of him.” Another wrote, “Galactus jaywalking in NYC is comic accurate.” Other one said, “Galactus strolling in NYC is like Ant-Man using a truck like a scooter in San Francisco.”
One commented, “Here’s the thing, I’m going to be transparent and I know this is a stretch but that trailer was so fire! Absolutely fantastic.” Another one commented, “All my childhood memories of Thing being one of my favorite heroes came back to me when he lifted the car for the kids. And most people don’t realize that in an alternate universe Shalla-Bal is indeed the Silver Surfer on Earth X. I’m excited to see this movie!!!”
Set to release on July 25, 2025, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is directed by Matt Shakman. Written by Peter Cameron, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan and others, the movie stars Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach & Vanessa Kirby in lead roles.
