The Fantastic Four Cast

Shalla-Bal Version of Silver Surfer in The Fantastic Four

Julia Garner will take on the role of Shalla-Bal in The Fantastic Four. This role comes from the Marvel Comics universe.

“Shalla-Bal is the Empress of her utopian planet, Zenn-La (in the Deneb System, Milky Way Galaxy), and was the lover of Norrin Radd. When the planet-eating Galactus came to their planet, Norrin Radd volunteered to become the herald of Galactus in exchange for sparing Zenn-La.

Norrin Radd was given the Power Cosmic and became the Silver Surfer, thus separating him from Shalla-Bal for a long time…The Surfer bestowed a portion of his Power Cosmic to Shalla-Bal while Mephisto was sending her back to her planet, and she was able to use this power to restore the life on Zenn-La.

She was thus accepted as an Empress by her people. However the responsibilities of her office made Shalla-Bal refuse marriage with the Surfer when he eventually broke free from Earth for good, and he told her that their romance was over.”

Garner has won three Emmys for her role in Ozark and was nominated for another in Inventing Anna. She’s a perfect fit for playing this cosmic hero. Her casting adds excitement for the new The Fantastic Four movie.

Directed by Matt Shakman, production on the film starts in summer 2024. Fantastic Four fans can mark their calendars for July 25, 2025, when the film is will be released in U.S. theaters.
