We’re only a few months away from the release of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which, in theory, has the potential to really create some impactful ripples across the current MCU. Then there’s the inclusion of a few fan-favorite characters like Galactus, Doctor Doom, and the Silver Surfer, who are making this film a highly anticipated Marvel event in more than one way. Now, Julia Garner, who was tapped to play a version of the Silver Surfer, is sharing her thoughts on the film and the scope of the story.

During a recent conversation with ComicBook.com, Garner was asked by the outlet about what surprised her most while preparing for her role in the film. The actor explains, “I mean, just how big it is [surprised me]. It’s a big universe, and I feel so grateful I get to be a little part of it, to be honest,” Garner continues, “Everybody on that job, I think the casting is phenomenal, and they’re so wonderful. And [director] Matt Shakman is amazing. I’m very excited.”
