Joseph Quinn is back as Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, for Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday.
The actor made his debut as the Fantastic Four’s hero earlier this year in The Fantastic Four: First Steps and will next appear in the massive ensemble film set for release in 2026.
From Fantastic Four to Avengers
Speaking in a recent interview, Quinn reflected on the difference between filming his first Marvel project and jumping into the Avengers franchise:
“We had the solace of the other three actors on Fantastic Four and it felt very contained and… the fact that we were all new to it. That made for it to feel— It just felt like a very personal and special experience.”
Joining a Stacked Cast
While Fantastic Four was a fresh start for its stars, Quinn noted that Avengers: Doomsday brings a different energy with its lineup of established MCU and Marvel veterans:
“Not to say that Avengers isn’t a special experience, but it’s just, you’re dealing with seasoned professionals that have been doing this for ages. So it’s very kind of encouraging and reassuring to kind of know these characters— I’ve seen Thor in films. I’ve seen lots of people who maybe I can’t mention in films. And be alongside them is very exciting. Oh—spoilers. Scary.”
