With the four actors set to play the iconic members of the super team, Marvel Studios‘ The Fantastic Four now has its sights set on who will play Silver Surfer, and it looks like they are going with one of the towns biggest rising stars...
While plot details for this film are unknown, sources say Garner will play Shalla-Bal, a version of Silver Surfer from the comics.
Comics nerds know that the Silver Surfer is a character introduced by Marvel in the pages of the Fantastic Four in the mid-1960s. His real name was Norrin Radd, an alien who was forced to act as the herald of Galactus (warning other planets their doom was approaching) in order to spare his own planet and the woman he loved. Why Marvel would sex-swap the Silver Surfer for a female version who barely existed in the comics is beyond me. This is giving off South Park vibes and the movie hasn't even started filming yet.
