While fans were furious about watching a rumored female Silver Surfer in the rebootedFantastic Fourfilm, a fan pointed out that Galactus had multiple heralds.
Galactus has had multiple heralds… this doesn’t mean Silver Surfer is a woman, guys.

Hence, if the scoop is true and Galactus’ herald is a female, then multiple female heralds can be a strong possibility to make an appearance. However, it can be assumed that Frankie Raye, aka the original female herald, Nova, has a stronger possibility of making her appearance.

Who is Frankie “Nova” Raye?
Frankie Raye also known as Nova made her appearance for the first time in 1975 inFantastic Four#164. Her powers are similar to Human Torch and she joined the Fantastic Four, briefly making them call themselves as Fantastic Five. However, when Galactus arrived on Earth, she decided to abandon the Fantastic Five and join him making her one of his heralds.
She started calling herself Nova and lost touch with her humanity. Though at the beginning, she was apathetic to the destruction her master caused she soon started leading Galactus to populated planets, including the homeworld of Skrulls. However, she came back to her senses when she met Silver Surfer who reminded her about her morality. However, Galactus decided to terminate her as his herald when she was ineffective as she refused to lead him to inhabited worlds.
