We've been hearing whispers of a Silver Surfer project for quite a while at this stage, and it seems Marvel Studios is still planning to give the space-faring hero the spotlight in his (or her?) own solo outing down the line.
A previous rumor claimed that The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman's multi-year deal with Marvel could potentially include helming episodes of a Silver Surfer Disney+ series, while another indicated that it was actually a Special Presentation that was in the works.
While it's not clear if this project is being developed for the big or small screen, insider Daniel Richtman is reporting that the Sentinel of the Spaceways is still in the works, and Shakman is on board as a producer.
The question is: Which version of the Surfer will this project focus on?

Although the Disney+ project is yet to be officially confirmed, there’s been a wave of speculations surrounding Garner’s role. While a few fans are already expressing disappointment, others came forward to clarify that the actress isn’t going to play a gender-swapped version.

Silver Surfer is one of the most iconic characters in Marvel Comics, making it surprising that the MCU waited 17 years to bring the character to the big screen. As you likely know, Silver Surfer is set to debut in Fantastic Four: First Steps, slated for release next year.
However, this version of the Surfer will be Shalla-Bal, portrayed by Julia Garner. The announcement has sparked significant criticism and fan backlash, as many were hoping the MCU’s primary Silver Surfer would be Norrin Radd, the character most famously associated with the role.
According to multiple industry leaks and reports, Shalla-Bal won’t be the only Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four: First Steps, and her role is reportedly “one and done,” meaning her time in the MCU may be short-lived.
If true, this isn’t too surprising. Kevin Feige has already confirmed that Fantastic Four will take place in an alternate reality,...

Silver Surfer is one of the most notable characters in Marvel Comics, so it was weird that the MCU waited 17 years to introduce the character to the big screen. As you are likely familiar Silver Surfer will debut in ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ scheduled to be released next year.
The Surfer in question will be Shalla-Bal played by Julia Garner. The announcement has been met with numerous criticisms and fan backlash, as fans were hoping that the MCU’s main Silver Surfer will be the character most notable for carrying the mantle – Norrin Radd.
Still, according to several subsequent industry leaks and reports, Shalla-Bal won’t be the only Silver Surfer in the movie, and her role is reportedly “one and done” meaning that her time in the MCU is limited.

Do you remember Jonathan Majors, the promising actor who was slated to portray Kang in the MCU and be the “next Thanos” for the franchise? Indeed, as we recently reported, this man was found guilty of attacking his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, physically. As a result, he was sentenced to a 52-week in-person domestic violence intervention program and his career went down the drain.
Not only was he fired from the MCU as Kang, with the studio looking for a replacement, but his character was ultimately completely kicked out of the story and was replaced with Victor Von Doom, who is going to be played by Robert Downey Jr., as the legendary Oscar-winner is making his MCU return. And while no one is really missing Majors, his character – Kang – is a wholly different problem.

It seems The Fantastic Four: First Steps has taken a break from filming, with star Vanessa Kirby attending the Toronto International Film Festival to promote her new film, Ron Howard's Eden, which also stars Ana de Armas and Sydney Sweeney.
The Mission: Impossible actress - who will play Sue Storm/Invisible Woman in the Marvel Studios reboot - was asked for an update on production on the red carpet of the Eden world premiere, and while she didn't share anything particularly exciting, it sounds like things are going very well and "Marvel's First Family" are all getting on as well as one would hope.
“We love each other so much. I’ve been away from them for two days and I miss them," said Kirby. "We’re having such great time together. I’m really hopeful for the movie and Matt Shakman is amazing and Pedro [Pascal] is heavenly.

Jessica Alba may have moved on from playing the Fantastic Four character Sue Storm. However, it looks like it still holds an extremely special place in her heart. After all, she had played the part perfectly in both the 2005 and 2007 films, Fantastic Four and its sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer. Although it has been years since the actress put on her stunning blue suit, the 43-year-old shone some light on her time with the MCU.

The New Mutants Star Anya Taylor-Joy Reveals Which Disney Princess She'd Like To Play In Live-Action
Anya Taylor-Joy has quickly established herself as one of the most talented actors working in Hollywood today, largely due to acclaimed performances in The Queen's Gambit, Last Night in Soho, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and, dare we say it, The New Mutants.
There were rumours a while ago that Taylor-Joy had been eyed to play The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Silver Surfer and, while that didn't pan out, we'd be shocked if she doesn't board another major superhero franchise somewhere down the line.
Time will tell, but the actor recently told Vogue Hong Kong (via Toonado.com) that there's a very specific Disney Princess she'd like to bring to life in live-action.
"Oh! I would love to do a musical because I’m a bit addicted to hard work," Taylor-Joy said when the publication pointed out her love of Disney. "I like having an impossible mountain to climb. The...

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ is easily one of the most exciting MCU projects. The movie, bound for 2025 release is going to introduce Marvel’s first family to the MCU as well as some of their most notable villains.
We already know that Galactus will be in the movie, voiced by Ralph Ineson, and that the role of Galactus’ Herald went to Julia Garner who will be portraying Shalla-Ball, a female version of Silver Surfer.
The filming is currently taking place at Pinewood Studios in London, and we’ve already had several set leaks, including Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm holding a young Franklin Richards and most recently, we’ve seen a leaked video showing crew members adjusting The Thing’s costume.
Now the latest set leak could turn out to be largely irrelevant or a major thing. An image started circulating on X that is very clearly from the set of ‘First Steps.

The first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps screened during San Diego Comic-Con last month, and while the footage did leak shortly after, it was a pretty terrible recording.
The same teaser was shown at D23 last night, and a much better-quality version has now found its way online.
The footage introduces us to this latest take on Marvel's First Family, as Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny prepare to embark on a mission to outer space that will change their lives forever.
We don't get to see any of the heroes in superhero mode (aside from a glimpse of The Thing in silhouette), but we do get a first look at Galactus right at the end - along with another character who wasn't visible in the Sdcc version: H.E.R.B.I.E the robot!

As a special treat for fans in attendance at D23, long-time Marvel Studios composer Michael Giacchino has unveiled his main theme for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Fans thought that the music that accompanied the drone show at Sa Diego Comic-Con last month might have given us a little taste of the score, but this sounds quite different.
In addition to providing the score for several MCU films, Giacchino directed the Werewolf By Night Special Presentation, and there are rumors that he's in line to helm the planned Midnight Sons movie.
The Sdcc panel revealed that the reboot has been given a new title - First Steps - and the first teaser trailer was also screened for those in attendance. A leaked version did the rounds online shorty after, but has yet to (and probably won't) be officially released.

“Deadpool & Wolverine,” dealing as it does with the Marvel Cinematic Universe multiverse, features a parade of cameos from superheroes who became part of the MCU when Disney bought Fox. The most surprising of them is Chris Evans as Johnny Storm, a.k.a. the Human Torch, from the “Fantastic Four.”
Evans is best known for playing Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, in the MCU. But before he picked up the shield, he played fiery superhero Storm in two “Fantastic Four” movies in 2005 and 2007. And now, he has reprised the character in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” having an encounter with Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) as they navigate the Void, a world of misfit toys first established in “Loki.”

It's a light year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all things considered. While we've become accustomed to around three movies per year in this franchise, 2024 sees just one in the form of "Deadpool & Wolverine." But that one movie is going to make it count as the first R-rated movie in the history of the MCU, and one that brings us a long-awaited team-up. We're also getting a new villain in the form of Cassandra Nova, played by "The Crown" star Emma Corrin. However, the filmmakers considered at least one other villain before landing on that one. Namely, Mephisto.
In an interview with Collider, director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds spoke about the long process of trial and error to nail down the story for "Deadpool & Wolverine." That involved entertaining several villains. "What was the name of the villain that we flirted with? Was it Mephisto?" Levy asked,...

Several months ago, it was announced that Julia Garner will portray the MCU’s Silver Surfer. Julia will take on the role of Shalla-Bal, Norrin Radd’s love interest in the comics. However, Shalla-Bal will also serve as the Herald of Galactus, known as Sunglow.
The reactions to Julia Garner’s casting have been highly polarized. Many fans feel that gender-swapping the Silver Surfer, a character traditionally seen as male, disrespects his legacy. Conversely, another segment of the fandom believes that female versions of the Silver Surfer deserve their moment in the spotlight.
‘Fantastic Four’ is set to begin production soon, and numerous details about the movie are being leaked by industry insiders and scoopers. One recent rumor, highlighted by Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez, suggests that Julia Garner’s role in the MCU will be brief, described as “one and done.”
If this rumor is true, it’s not entirely unexpected.

Several months ago it was revealed that MCU’s Silver Surfer will be Julia Garner. Julia will be portraying Shalla-Bal, Norrin’s love interest in the comics, but there is a reality in which Shalla serves as the Herald of Galactus as well, Sunglow.
The reactions to Julia Garner’s casting were extremely polarizing with a good part of the community feeling that genderswapping Silver Surfer, whom 99% of people associate with being male, is extremely disrespectful to the character’s legacy. The second part of the fandom however feels that other versions of Silver Surfer – notably female ones, should get their moment of glory.

When the news broke that Disney had acquired 20th Century Fox, comic book fans immediately started getting excited. After all, it meant Marvel Studios had finally regained the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchise.
Fox never managed to figure out Marvel's First Family, and while its early mutant movies received deserved critical acclaim, that franchise quickly started going downhill (with the odd win here and there like Logan and Deadpool).
The Fantastic Four reboot arrives in theaters next year and, judging by the early concept art, the plan is for them to hail from a reality other than Earth-616.
It's a surprising move on Marvel Studios' part, though we'd imagine Avengers: Secret Wars will make it so that they're eventually a permanent part of Earth-616. While time will tell on that front, scooper Daniel Richtman has shared some exciting new details about the movie today.

With filming for The Fantastic Four slated to begin next month, this generation’s Human Torch shares an update on what preparations are underway for his biggest role yet.
In an interview with British GQ, Joseph Quinn reveals that he has finished costume fitting and is undergoing physical training by “eating stuff and lifting things. I’m working with someone great—if you’d cast someone as a personal trainer, you’d cast him, he’s a rhinoceros of a man,” he says.
While his character is not expected to have a Thor-like build, Quinn confirms that he will don a "skin-tight suit" in the movie.
He also expressed his excitement to work with John Malkovich, who has been added to the movie in an undisclosed role. “He’s one of my all-timers,...

The unbelievable but perfectly deserved success of X-Men ‘97 gave fans one of the best TV/movie adaptations of the evergreen X-Men in recent years. The show, which was a revival of the classic 90s TV series, delightfully managed to stay consistent with the traditional arc while giving fans plenty to chew on for the time being.

However, as Marvel will testify, viewers are constantly on the lookout for new content, and X-Men ‘97 has resulted in considerable interest in similar reboots of some of the other animated offerings that Marvel can work on. That includes a plethora of its 90s animated shows, such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, Spider-Man Unlimited, or even The Incredible Hulk.

Several months ago Marvel Studios announced the the actors that will be playing the core roles of the upcoming ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot. Pedro Pascal was chosen to portray Reed Richards alongside Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm. The duo will be joined by Joseph Quinn’s Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s The Thing. Julia Garner will be portraying Shalla-Bal MCU’s version of Silver Surfer.
The casting was highly scandalous, the majority of the hate directed toward Garner’s Silver Surfer but Pedro Pascal received some comments as well, as a good portion of the fandom doesn’t think that he has what it takes to play Mr. Fantastic, still hung up on the idea of Krasinski as Reed Richards.

Pedro Pascal was selected to embody Reed Richards, while Vanessa Kirby was cast as Sue Storm. Joseph Quinn will portray the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will bring The Thing to life. Additionally, Julia Garner will play Shalla-Bal, the MCU’s version of Silver Surfer.

Starring Pascal as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, the movie is set to introduce Marvel’s first family into the MCU. However, that’s not the only thing that will debut in the Marvel movie. Fantastic Four is also on the way to bring Galactus, one of the strongest beings from Marvel comics, as the big bad in the MCU.
However, with every big villain, especially of celestial proportions, there comes a question: where were they before, and why didn’t they fight The Avengers?

Marvel Comics is home to several powerhouses. While some have immeasurable raw strength, others are more mystical in nature. We have witnessed both of these to some extent in the MCU, but the horizons of power levels have expanded way beyond our imaginations once the Infinity saga ended and the Multiverse saga began.

We have seen glimpses of these kinds of powers in What If…? and Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness. And in both of them, and even during the Infinity saga, Doctor Strange was perhaps one of the strongest characters on the roster.

It’s official. Galactus is coming to the MCU.
After months of speculation, Marvel officially announced that they’ve found their Galactus. Ralph Ineson, a Game of Thrones veteran known for standout supporting roles in The Witch and The Green Knight, will portray the Devourer of Worlds. Ineson’s casting comes on the heels of other compelling announcements for its upcoming film The Fantastic Four, including Paul Walter Hauser and John Malkovich. Marvel hasn’t yet disclosed which characters those two are playing, but the smart money has Hauser down for the Mole Man. Malkovich could fit a number of characters, including minor baddies Puppet Master or Diablo, including just a grouchy official. Heck, maybe he’ll finally get to play a version of the Vulture, as he was slated to do in Sam Raimi’s abandoned Spider-Man 4!
While any of those baddies would be fun, the Galactus casting deserves the most attention.

Ineson’s casting as Galactus, however, does not mark his MCU debut, the actor had a pretty forgettable appearance in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy which starred Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel in the primary roles.

As The Fantastic Four inches closer to production, the upcoming Marvel Studios reboot continues to round out its cast, and the latest addition is going to be a very busy man over the next couple of years.
After booking roles in Paramount’s Naked Gun reboot and New Line's Chris Farley biopic earlier this week, THR reports that Paul Walter Hauser has also signed on for a part in The Fantastic Four.
Details on his character are being kept under wraps, but there's already speculation that he might be playing the villainous Mole Man.
Hauser joins Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning) as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing.

The debut of Episode 8 of ‘X-Men ’97’ marked the commencement of its three-part finale, advancing the overarching narrative while also featuring a notable cameo. Christopher Barnes’ Spider-Man made a surprise appearance following Captain America, sparking fan speculation about the integration of ‘Spider-Man ’94’ into the continuity of the new ‘X-Men ’97.’
Previously, it was established that all Marvel Animated series, while not aligned with the MCU canon, belong to the broader Marvel Animated Multiverse. This categorization holds merit, given the significant disparities between the older and newer shows, offering a logical framework for their coexistence.
After Episode 8 aired, well-known industry insider Daniel Richtman asserted that ‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Iron Man,’ ‘Silver Surfer,’ ‘Fantastic Four,’ and ‘The Incredible Hulk’ all inhabit a shared universe.

The release of ‘X-Men ’97’ Episode 8 Started the three-part finale, and of course, advanced the overall story of the show, but it also included one notable cameo. After Captain America, Christopher Barnes’ Spider-Man showed up in the show, which prompted fans to conclude that ‘Spider-Man ’94’ is truly canon to the new ‘X-Men ’97.’
It was stated a while back that all Marvel Animated shows, despite not being canon to the MCU, are part of Marvel Animated Multiverse, and that definition is truly sensible and logical, since the older shows (and by extension new shows) contradict each other in quite a lot of ways.

“Satan is his father and his name is Adrian!” shouts the coven leader Roman Castevet at the end of 1968’s. Rosemary’s Baby. “He shall overthrow the mighty and lay waste their temples. He shall redeem the despised and wreak vengeance in the name of the burned and the tortured.”
Even when making allowances for Roman’s (Sidney Blackmer) understandable delight at seeing his plan come to fruition, that’s a lot of expectation to put on a newborn, no matter who his father might be. Unfortunately, the sequels chronicling Adrian’s rise to power didn’t quite live up to those expectations. Neither the 1976 TV movie Look What’s Happened to Rosemary’s Baby, in which Patty Duke subs in for Mia Farrow, nor original author Ira Levin’s follow-up book Son of Rosemary (1997) manages to deliver what Roman promised.

Pedro Pascal did not become the name that he is today immediately after entering the Hollywood industry. It took him a long time and a great amount of patience. While skill was everpresent, recognition wasn’t. He made his name with effort seeping through every scene. Now he stands as Joel, the Mandalorian, and Javier all at the same time.

Just because one holds fame now doesn’t necessarily mean it came to them naturally or that they were born with a silver spoon. Pascal worked hard to get where he is now.

Sometime ago it was revealed that MCU’s Silver Surfer will be Julia Garner. Julia will be portraying Shalla-Bal, Norrin’s love interest in the comics, but there is a reality in which Shalla serves as the Herald of Galactus as well, Sunglow.
The reactions to Julia Garner’s casting were extremely polarizing with a good part of the community feeling that genderswapping Silver Surfer, whom 99% of people associate with being male, is extremely disrespectful to the character’s legacy. The second part of the fandom however feels that other versions of Silver Surfer – notably female ones, should get their moment of glory.
Now according to most recent rumors posted on private Pateron by Daniel Richtman, Norrin Radd will join Shalla-Bal in ‘Fantastic Four’ setting things right with the fanbase. This points in the direction that their story will be more comic-accurate than expected.

Last week, it was announced that Julia Garner will portray MCU’s Silver Surfer. She’ll depict Shalla-Bal, known as Norrin’s love interest in the comics. However, in some versions, Shalla also serves as Galactus’s Herald, known as Sunglow.
Reactions to Julia Garner’s casting were mixed. Some in the community felt that changing Silver Surfer’s gender was disrespectful to the character’s legacy, as most associate the character with being male. Others believe that alternative versions of Silver Surfer, particularly female ones, deserve recognition.
Certainly, there are already calls to boycott the movie, but this isn’t the right approach. Regardless of your stance on the film, it’s important to watch it first, even if just to critique it later with an informed perspective. Speaking of Silver Surfer in live-action, we’ve previously seen him in ‘Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,’ portrayed by Laurence Fishburne and Doug Jones.

Last week it was revealed that MCU’s Silver Surfer will be Julia Garner. Julia will be portraying Shalla-Bal, Norrin’s love interest in the comics, but there is a reality in which Shalla serves as the Herald of Galactus as well, Sunglow.
The reactions to Julia Garner’s casting were extremely polarizing with a good part of the community feeling that genderswapping Silver Surfer, whom 99% of people associate with being male, is extremely disrespectful to the character’s legacy. The second part of the fandom however feels that other versions of Silver Surfer – notably female ones, should get their moment of glory.
Needless to say there are already calls to boycott the movie, but this is wrong, no matter what your feelings are about the movie, you should first watch it, if only so you can criticize it later in an informed way. Now that we’ve touched upon...
