• Julia Garner debuts as Shalla-Bal, the film’s Silver Surfer, whose allegiance to Galactus may shift in a storyline inspired by the classic “Galactus Trilogy.”
• Set in a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic Earth, the film introduces Marvel’s first family and underscores Sue Storm’s pregnancy alongside the arrival of Franklin Richards.
