THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Concept Art Reveals First Look At Julia Garner's Silver Surfer & [SPOILER]

Some more artwork from Mushk Rizvi's site here, and this time we have a first look at the character design for Julia Garner's Silver Surfer in The Fantastic Four: First Steps...

Following that revealing Avengers: Doomsday concept art (check it out here if you haven't already), we have some more of Mushk Rizvi's designs from her official site, this time spotlighting the main characters from The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Spoilers follow.

This artwork features several different costume designs for the members of Marvel's First Family, as well as some alternate looks for H.E.R.B.I.E the robot. We also have confirmation that Franklin Richards will appear in the movie, and one animated clip shows the lad in a Spider-Man onesie using his powers.

Franklin's role has yet to be officially announced, but arguably the biggest reveal here is our first glimpse of Shalla Bal/Silver Surfer, who will be played by Julia Garner in the movie.

If this design does end up being true to what we see on the screen, it seems Shalla is going to look quite a bit like the Norrin Radd version of the space-faring hero (they've ditched her comic book counterpart's long hair).

In addition, there's some concept art that appears to be for the upcoming Vision Disney+ series, and it seemingly reveals that Jocasta - aka the Bride of Ultron - is going to be part of the show.

Check out the artwork at the links below... while it's still up!

The Fantastic Four reboot stars Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning) as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, A Quiet Place Day One) as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear) as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing. 

Galactus has been confirmed as the main villain, and the Eater of Worlds will be played by Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Game of Thrones). Natasha Lyonne and Paul Walter Houser are also on board in undisclosed roles. 

Kevin Feige recently confirmed that the movie will take place in an alternate universe, but we know that Marvel's First Family will appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, so we wouldn't be surprised if they find their way into the main MCU timeline by the end of this movie.

"Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet.

Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal."

Matt Shakman directs The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

@AllsNotGood - Oh. Let's see if Norrin comes into play

At least they got a good actress for it

@Vigor - the quality of the actress isn't the problem. When we needed a boost which norrin radd would undoubtedly would have done they bring us this

@ProfessorWhy - how do you know it's "pertinent of nothing" if it's vague? If you know "it's pertinent of nothing" it ceases to be vague

@Vigor - he wont in any serious capacity. They want The Silver Surfer character and his story to be gender swapped. At best they will just make Norrin the sacrificial love interest.
RegularPoochie
RegularPoochie - 3/2/2025, 3:33 AM
@Ryguy88 - my bet is that Shalla-Bal sacrafices herself for Norrin in this universe, because it happened the other way in their universe and Norrin takes her place.

CreateNowSlpL8r - 3/2/2025, 2:25 PM
@RegularPoochie - If they use the exact same plot, its even dumber or even more sinister that they gender swapped him.
Ryguy88
Ryguy88 - 3/3/2025, 7:54 AM
@RegularPoochie - exactly what will happen. But why do they seem this necessary?

Worst casting and ceeative choice in the film.

Also, I knew they were going to make hee bald 🤣

Having franklin in a spidey onesie confirms they're crossing into 616. Because the creatives said the fantastic 4 world has no other superheroes than the f4

@Vigor - The concept art sadly won't confirm anything. We had Deadpool in Shang Chi concept art and that was never part of the plan, just the artist having fun

They just had to add some line to the Silver Surfer costume. What is with Marvel and adding line to every costume? Makes it all look like they shop at the same tailor
Vigor
Vigor - 3/1/2025, 10:02 AM
You have one group of people who read these articles to see what exciting thing they can piece together about future comic book movies

And you have another group who read just to pick out what's wrong and what they should be offended about today

People are hardwired differently that's for sure
Vigor
Vigor - 3/1/2025, 10:03 AM
@Vigor - imagine getting to the pearly gates. And when they review your life they're like "wow all you did was spew hate on online forums. Did you share any love as God instructed you to? Off to hell you go"
ProfessorWhy
ProfessorWhy - 3/1/2025, 10:04 AM
@Vigor - pretty sure the haters on here are anti woke, anti marvel, or both. They all have a poor grasp on language skills
Wahhvacado
Wahhvacado - 3/1/2025, 10:06 AM
@Vigor - The people who focus on the negative will never be fulfilled by that line of thought.

That goes for comics, movies, games or really anything in life

@Vigor - The only Christian ideal they adhere to is forgiveness, and that is only to demand it for themselve on th off-chance that they feel like acknowledging any of their many mistakes.

Let them burn, like they wish to burn others.

@ProfessorWhy - pretty much, they seem to conveniently forget the fact Marvel (and comics in general) have ALWAYS been liberal, just like how they've bastardised the meaning of "woke" when it originally just meant having your eyes open to social issues, particularly in relation to the struggles of black people and other minorities.
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 3/2/2025, 2:27 PM
@Vigor - and you have people who come into these threads to antagonize the people who just disagree with these kinds of decisions.

Fandom used to be pretty unified in this way until political views became conflated with fandom.

@Clintthahamster - it's literally been posted to the official site of an artist who has worked with the studio for 5 years. And the page has now been deleted.

@ItsNotForMeWahh - I was going for Wolverine and Ghostrider sitting in First Class together, while Ghost Rider reads the newspaper, but the ghost in the machine thought maybe Wolverine IS Ghost Rider? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
