Well, we already know that it will not be an actor, since it has been confirmed that Julia Garner will be responsible for assuming Silver Surfer's role in Fantastic Four. The incorporation of Silver Surfer probably also may have anticipated that Galactus could make an appearance in the film that will be released in 2025, but Marvel Studios He has not yet commented on the matter. Regarding the character in question, Julia Garner will play Shalla-Balthe love interest of Silver Surfer in Marvel Comics. This could be a radical departure from what many viewers might have expected, especially since Norrin Radd is the best known Silver Surfer.
Shalla-Bal is Norrin Radd's main love interest.although she also had her legacy as a Silver Surfer far from the canon of Marvel. For a time, the couple tried to build a life together, but the problem of distance ended up being the reason that would lead them to part ways. Later, Shalla-Bal would end up coming into conflict with Silver Surfer.
Shalla-Bal also became Silver Surfer in the past, although he did so in the alternate reality of Earth-9997. In this universe, Franklin Richards becomes a renewed version of Galactus, who granted Shalla-Bal the same powers as Norrin Radd. As rich as the history of his past seems, it is unlikely that Marvel Studios will use Shalla-Bal in this way in the MCU. We still have to wait and see how Shalla-Bal fits into the MCU, so Marvel Studios' plans continue to hide in the shadows.
