Fantastic Four

Answer: Shalla-Bal has been in Marvel comics since 1968, and is the Silver Surfer in Marvel continuities like Earth X and What If. Given that the Fantastic Four in this film are clearly from a different continuity from the regular MCU, it makes perfect sense.

Other mistake: Reed shows to the world through his infographic on the set of "Fantastic Science with Mr. Fantastic" how the planet will be teleported away from its current location. The graphic shows the teleportation shield being fairly wide, enough to encompass also the Moon - which makes sense, because without the Moon of course there would be all sorts of dramatic disturbances. However, when we see the plan in action, the 'shield' is barely at the Karman line, and the Moon wouldn't be included at all.
