Julia Garner recently reflected on being offered a role in the MCU without knowing which character she'd play in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Julia Garner is finally stepping into the world of superheroes, and while excited to play another version of Silver Surfer, the actress admitted she did not know much about Shalla-Bal at first. She will be making her MCU debut in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the Ozark actress mentioned her limited knowledge of major Marvel and DC characters. Julia Garner also added that she was "in disbelief" when offered the role of Shalla-Bal.
"I did not know that there was Shalla-Bal, for example, another form of a Silver Surfer that's not like what you think of the Silver Surfer," the actress from Apartment 7A stated to the outlet.
Further talking to the outlet, Julia Garner went on to add that the best part of the comics is that it happens to be the same, “when you watch the movies, it's when it's surfing around space. Aesthetically, it looks incredible, and I'm just really excited to see what [director] Matt [Shakman] and Marvel are going to do with that."
