Kevin Feige has chosen to introduce the Silver Surfer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a female character, aligning with his innovative approach to the MCU post-“Avengers: Infinity War”.
In the upcoming Marvel film, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set to be released in just two weeks, Julia Garner is cast as the female version of Silver Surfer.
Fan sentiment towards Feige and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been less than satisfied following “Endgame”, as demonstrated by a series of flops in both cinemas and on Disney+. The most recent disappointments include “Captain America: New World Order”, “Thunderbolts”, “Ironheart” and “Daredevil: Rebirth”.
What does Julia Garner say?
Recently, BBC News interviewed Julia Garner, who responded to criticisms concerning her casting as a female version of Silver Surfer.
I’ll continue doing my work as usual, but since it’s a unique case of Shalla-Bal, things might vary a bit. Honestly, I’m glad that people are connecting with it, just like any other project I work on. I feel fortunate to be part of this endeavor.
Fans worried Fantastic Four is woke
Besides concerns about Julia Garner playing the female Silver Surfer, fans are expressing apprehension that Sue Storm might be portrayed as a strong, decisive figure in the upcoming Fantastic Four. Recently, Marvel Comics unveiled a new comic book series where Sue appears to be commanding the team, with Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) no longer holding the leadership role.
In the film, Pedro Pascal’s character Reed, Joseph Quinn’s Johnny, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s character The Thing appear to be portrayed as less traditionally masculine, which aligns with Kevin Feige’s post-Endgame approach that has been criticized by some.
Yeah saw that. Marvel is a joke.

Wait, isn’t the Silver Surfer a man?
Initially, Garner had expressed doubts about taking on the role of Silver Surfer, remarking, “When I received this offer, my first thought was, ‘Really? Me?’ Yes, I was taken aback…
She commented, ‘Then I found myself perplexed, thinking to myself, ‘But isn’t Silver Surfer male?’ I laughed and said, ‘Alright, I’m game for any role.”
The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens July 25.
