Julia Garner recently joined the cast of The Fantastic Four, where she will play a major role in the highly anticipated film. She will play Shalla-Bal, a version of Silver Surfer from the Marvel comics, Variety reports. She will star alongside Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (a.k.a. the Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (a.k.a. the Human Torch) and Ebon Moss -Bachrach as Ben Grimm (aka the Thing). Julia Garner has received widespread recognition, including three Primetime Emmy Awards for her iconic performance as Ruth Langmore in the smash Netflix series Ozark.
Matt Shakman (WandaVision) will direct Fantastic four from a screenplay by Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, Ian Springer and Eric Pearson. Production on the film will begin this summer, with a planned release on July 25, 2025.
The Silver Surfer was previously played by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne in 2007 Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
Julia Garner’s other television credits include The Americans, Dirty John and Inventing Anna, for which she earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.
In the film, Julia Garner earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for her role in Kitty Green’s The assistant. The two worked together again last year The Royal Hotel, which Julia Garner also produced through her Alma Margo production banner. She will next star in Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man opposite Christopher Abbott, and in the psychological thriller Apartment 7A from Paramount and producer John Krasinski, Variety reports.
