With Silver Surfer debuting in the MCU in the upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps, actress Julia Garner recently teased the character's "ambiguous energy" and her alliance with the film's big bad Galactus. She also admitted to be "confused" at first by the gender swap.

A female Silver Surfer is both canon to the comics, and can offer story dimensions that a male counterpart might not.

Audiences got a first look at Garner as Silver Surfer when the trailer was released last week. It features Garner gliding above the city on her floating surfboard. Before the film, the Emmy Award-winner said she familiarized herself with the "Fantastic Four" and "Silver Surfer" comics.
