How might the change from Norrin Radd to Shalla-Bal affect the movie’s story?
Agreeing, Galactus imbues Norrin with the so-called ‘Power Cosmic’ and turns him into the Silver Surfer.
There, the Surfer defies Galactus and is trapped on Earth as a result.
The rest, as they say, is Marvel Universe history.
However, there’s another side to the story, which is less known - the fate of Shalla-Bal.
But Shalla-Bal wouldn’t stay on Zenn-La for long.
Galactus uncharacteristically warns the planet’s inhabitants to flee, allowing the people to survive though their planet dies.

So when exactly did Shalla-Bal become the Silver Surfer herself in comic books?
Well, it didn’t actually happen in the mainstream Marvel Universe.
Fantastic Four releases in July 2025.
