Actress Julia Garner reveals her Silver Surfer role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps is fully motion capture. Speaking with Who What Where, Garner discusses the process for her role in the upcoming MCU film.
‘For her next act, Garner will venture into brand-new territory: the superhero genre in this summer’s highly anticipated The Fantastic Four: First Steps. “Going into the Marvel space was a big interest,” she admits, but it was not for the reasons you might think.’
‘”I feel like what a lot of actors don’t value enough is trying to reach every kind of audience. I think that’s really important. I’d be crazy to expect that everybody is going to watch Inventing Anna or Ozark or The Assistant. But to reach all kinds of people and build fans from everywhere? I was really excited to step into that universe.” Of course, it had to be the right character.’

‘She says, “With the Silver Surfer, there’s still something very mysterious about it. That mystery is very important to me as an actor. It’s such an iconic character, and it felt very different for me. I’ve never played a character like that.” Even the very process of being in front of the camera was a learning curve for Garner, who shot the project exclusively in a motion cap. “You have to imagine everything when you’re doing it, as if you’re auditioning,” she describes. “Even though we had the sets, I didn’t have my costume or hair and makeup or anything.”‘
Given the nature of Silver Surfer, whether this version or the expected eventual 616 version, Mo-Cap make sense. There’s no way Garner in a silver suit was ever going to work. However, at least we now have confirmed that both The Thing, and Silver Surfer are fully Mo-Cap roles in the film.
