With Silver Surfer debuting in the MCU in the upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps, actress Julia Garner recently teased the character's "ambiguous energy" and her alliance with the film's big bad Galactus. She also admitted to be "confused" at first by the gender swap.

In First Steps, Garner plays Shalla-Bal, the immortal empress of the plant Zenn-La and Norrin’s lover. In the comics, Norrin becomes the Silver Surfer after becoming the herald of Galactus in exchange for him sparing their planet. The sacrifice meant the lovers were separated for eternity.

A Silver Surfer spinoff movie is the perfect place to introduce a major Marvel character missing from the MCU's The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
