First Steps’ Preview Clip Adds The Silver Surfer Into The MCU

]

The Silver Surfer has officially made their way into the MCU! The latest preview for The Fantastic Four: First Steps puts special focus on Galactus’ most beloved herald.

If there was any character fans have wanted to see in the MCU, it’s Blade. Then Ghost Rider. Then probably Cyclops. But if you go down that list, Silver Surfer probably ranks fifth or sixth. This is exceptionally high, given most wouldn’t assume general audiences care for the herald of a big purple planet eater. Which is why even people not tapped-in to the comic book ecosystem are exceptionally excited to see Julia Garner’s take on the character in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

While the character has only gotten small teases thus far, the latest preview for The Fantastic Four: First Steps puts the sole focus on the Silver Surfer. The clip has the herald…well…heralding Galactus’ oncoming destruction in the MCU. And given the look on the team’s faces, it seems as though Marvel’s first family is woefully unaware to combat the scale of power that they’ll have to defeat in order to save their home planet from destruction at the hands of Galactus!

Silver Surfer’s Role In The MCU

Many assume that The Fantastic Four: First Steps is the first wave in the radical tide that’ll be Silver Surfer’s journey in the MCU. However, signs are pointing sour for Galactus’ most famous herald. Almost every report about Julia Garner’s take on the cosmic chrome-dome suggests that the character will be a one-off addition for the franchise, being left behind as the Fantastic Four’s home universe is destroyed.

While this may seem disappointing to some people, one must remember that The Fantastic Four: First Steps doesn’t take place inside the MCU’s Sacred Timeline. If it is true that Julia Garner will only play the herald for one movie, it’s likely that Marvel already has someone in mind to take up the mantle of Galactus’ herald for future installments in the franchise.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps opens on July 25, 2025. Stay tuned for all the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
