Garner Will Play Shalla-Ball
While the exact plot of The Fantastic Four is being kept under wraps, sources told Deadline that she will play Shalla-Ball.
In the comics, Shall-Bal is Silver Surfer’s first love, who is eventually infused with the Power Cosmic and becomes the second Silver Surfer.

Due to the multiversal nature of the MCU, it is unclear whether or not The Fantastic Four will be set on the Sacred Timeline. It is possible, then, that Garner will be playing a variant of the mainline Surfer.
Another Star Joins the MCU
Signing Garner onto the film gives The Fantastic Four another award-winning member of its cast.
Garner rose to fame on the Netflix crime drama Ozark, where she won three Emmys for portraying Ruth. She then landed another Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Anna Delvey in Inventing Anna.
