AceShowbiz - Joseph Quinn's career continues to soar as he prepares to take on the role of Johnny Storm/Human Torch in Marvel Studios' reboot of "Fantastic Four". Filming is set to commence in July in the U.K., and Quinn has already given high praise for the project.
"It's been a wonderful experience so far," Quinn exclusively told ComicBook.com. "We've got a wonderful gang on it with Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, to name but a few. I'm very excited."
Quinn, who will star alongside Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm Richards/Invisible Woman) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing), praised the "amazing" script written by Eric Pearson ("Thor: Ragnarok", "Thunderbolts").
The Fantastic Four ensemble also includes Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer, Paul Walter Hauser and John Malkovich in undisclosed roles.
Matt Shakman, the director of "WandaVision", will helm the project from a script co-written by Pearson, Peter Cameron ("Moon Knight"), Josh Friedman ("Avatar: The Way of Water"), and Jeff Kaplan & Ian Springer ("Disaster Wedding").
Quinn, who is replacing previous Human Torch actors Chris Evans ("Fantastic Four", "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer") and Michael B. Jordan ("Fant4stic"), expressed his enthusiasm and nervousness about the role. "I'm nervous, obviously. I'm really looking forward to getting into it. The script is amazing," he said.
Marvel's "Fantastic Four (2024)" is scheduled to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.
