Part 5/9:
While many Marvel fans might be unfamiliar with Julia Garner, she gained widespread acclaim for her portrayal of Ruth Langmore in the critically acclaimed series Ozark. Garner's performance earned her an Emmy Award, highlighting her talent and rising star status within Hollywood. Beyond Ozark, her acting credits are somewhat limited, and her range remains to be fully seen, especially in the context of a major Marvel role like Silver Surfer.
The choice of Garner for this role has sparked conversations about whether Marvel is casting a rising star to repurpose a traditionally male character or if there's a deeper narrative intention behind the gender swap.
