Julia Garner is playing the MCU version of the Silver Surfer in the new film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The star, who is known for critically acclaimed performances in Ozark and Inventing Anna, has been married to Mark Foster since 2019. They seemed to have a happy married life, with them supporting each other every step of the way.
Garner was confirmed for the role of Shalla-Bal last April. It was earlier revealed that her role would be 100% motion capture creation. As per early reviews, Garner’s CGI looks fantastic in the film. The actress also spoke excitedly about her appearance in the film.
During the LA premiere of the film, she told ExtraTV, “I was in total disbelief. I mean, they made me look way cooler than I actually am.” Her career prospects look promising with each project, and the same can be said about Foster, who is a singer.

Julia Garner is one of Hollywood's brightest stars, thanks to major roles in "Ozark" and "Inventing Anna" that have cemented her in that pantheon. However, though you've probably heard of Garner if you're a TV fan, you may not know her husband, Mark Foster, who is more than just the guy sitting next to Garner at every award show - he's also a very popular musician.
Foster is best known for being the lead singer of the band Foster the People, which he formed in 2009 with his friend, drummer Mark Pontius, and, later, bassist Cubbie Fink. Over the past decade, the band have released three studio albums: their debut "Torches" in 2011, "Supermodel" in 2014, and "Sacred Hearts Club" in 2017." "Torches" and its breakout song, "Pumped Up Kicks," garnered three Grammy nominations in 2012 for the band.

Formed in Los Angeles, California in 2009, Foster the People are an Indie/electronic band known for their hit song ‘Pumped Up Kicks’. In 2011, they released their debut album Torches, touring it extensively all over the world. The album would receive platinum certifications in the Us, Canada and Australia. But, it’s main selling point was still Pumped Up Kicks.
The song has gone on to sell, as of August 2013, 5.17 million copies in the Us alone. But the band would return to the studio and write their next album Supermodel, released in 2014. The album would not chart or sell as well as Torches, but saw them take on a darker, more mature sound.
From humble beginnings in Cleveland, Ohio, Mark Foster (singer/founder/multi-instrumentalist) would move to L.A. in an attempt to make it in the music industry. Out there, he would form the band with friends...

Los Angeles — Foster the People don't want to reveal too much about their performance at Sunday's 54th Grammy Awards, where they'll share the stage with the surviving members of the Beach Boys (together for the first time in more than 20 years) and Maroon 5. But they will tell you what song they won't be playing: their signature hit, "Pumped Up Kicks."
"I think my head would explode if [the Beach Boys] were playing 'Pumped Up Kicks' with us," frontman Mark Foster told MTV News during Grammy rehearsals Thursday. "I would probably have to say 'No, no, no. That's unacceptable.' No, we're going to be playing with them."

In 2011, we saw new acts break through to the big time and formerly new ones continue on their paths toward superstardom. We welcomed the likes of the Weeknd and Frank Ocean to the party and watched with pride as Drake and Adele marched on to greatness.
But of all the year's brand-new stars, few broke out to the degree that L.A. rock trio Foster the People did, thanks in no small part to the success of their smash hit "Pumped Up Kicks," #7 on MTV's Best Songs of 2011. Of all the returning stars, none returned with the power and grace of Florence and the Machine, who wowed critics and fans with their sophomore album,...

You've probably heard Foster the People's new single "Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)" in those Nissan commercials where a bunch fabulous-looking, creatively haired millennials cavort in the backseat and a voice-over guy burbles about stuff like "the most headroom per dollar of any car in America."
In a way, it is sort of the perfect song for selling modestly priced compact cars aimed at young adults with a few dollars to burn (a target demo that, given the current economic conditions, is admittedly pretty slight): bright and shiny and poppy, vaguely bloggy — if that's even a thing — impossible to place in any given genre or era, instantly disposable in all the best possible ways.

Eater recently did an interview with Foster the People and the band talked about the food they come across in their travels and their foodie manager.
"Our tour manager is a really big food guy, a connoisseur, and every city we go to he shows us a cool place," said Mark Pontius, the band's drummer. Of those cool places, Pontius said the band tried oysters in Boston. "In Boston, we had oysters at Eastern Standard. It was seriously the best seafood I've ever had in my life. My first time having oysters, and I'm definitely in love with them."
When it comes to his hometown of L.A., Pontius said he's all about the burgers.
"I'm big into burgers, and there's a place I've been going to for years called Molly's Burger," the drummer said. "It's a shack on the side of the street. I'm not crazy about complicated burgers,...

With the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind around the corner, today's biggest acts recall 1991's other classic albums.
By James Montgomery
In a few short weeks, Nirvana's epochal Nevermind album turns 20, a milestone that will be marked with much coverage, celebration and consternation in the media — and understandably so. After all, it was a game-changer in every sense of the term, the kind of album that brought about seismic shifts in music, fashion and culture in general, one that defined a generation and, as such, deserves to be mythologized. And, in the coming weeks, we suspect you'll see no shortage of stories that do just that.
While Nevermind casts an indelibly lengthy shadow, it bears mention that there were no shortage of other magical, massive and equally mythological albums that hit stores in 1991 — from mega-platinum rock blockbusters to best-kept indie secrets, and just about everything in between — classics that, had Nirvana never broken through,...

Chicago — For a band about to play the biggest show of their short career, Foster the People are pretty chill. An hour before they took the stage at Lollapalooza on Friday (August 5), the Los Angeles buzz band was feeling pretty pumped up about playing to the sweaty masses.
"I think we're all really looking forward to it," singer Mark Foster told MTV News. "I think today's gonna be the biggest crowd we've ever played in front of. This is our first major festival in the U.S. after our record's come out."
The Vma-nominated band's acclaimed debut, Torches — which spawned one of the buzziest tunes of the summer, the retro new-wave "Pumped Up Kicks" -- has only been in stores since late May, but Foster were confident their...

By now, most people have already caught wind of indie-popsters on the rise Foster the People. The La-based band has been storming the pop charts with their hit “Pumped Up Kicks,” from their breakout debut album, Torches, which was just released in May. The group is currently on a mostly sold-out club tour, but who are the guys behind the catchy pop sound?
Foster the People formed just two short years ago when vocalist/guitarist and unofficial band leader Mark Foster ventured West out of Ohio in pursuit of a music career. He worked the typical menial jobs – pizza delivery, telemarketing – but thanks to his knack for networking and artistic flare, Foster eventually began rubbing elbows with the young talent in Hollywood.
Before long, Foster got the big break he was looking for (or so he thought) when he received a phone call from the A&R...
