Joseph Quinn opened up about superhero fatigue ahead of his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Joseph Quinn is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the upcoming tentpole “The Fantastic Four,” starring opposite Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) and Julia Garner (the Silver Surfer named Shalla-Bal). It’s a pivotal time for the MCU as debates over “superhero fatigue” rage on following the onslaught of 2023 comic book movie flops, which included Marvel’s own “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels.” Is Quinn worried about Marvel superhero fatigue as he gears up to shoot “The Fantastic Four” and enter the MCU? He shrugged off any concerns in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
While he’d only shot a few films up to that point, thanks to his compelling turn in season four of “Stranger Things,” British actor Joseph Quinn quickly shot into the stratosphere and became a much-in-demand up-and-comer. Following that series, he promptly booked roles in “Gladiator II,” “A Quiet Place: Day One,” and, of course, the much-coveted role of Johnny Storm in Marvel’s upcoming “The Fantastic Four” movie, arriving in the summer of 2025.

What To Watch.What to watch: 7 movies and shows to stream this week — March 29What to watch: 7 movies and shows to stream this week — April 5It’s a big week for releases. “Fallout,” based on the beloved video game franchise, its one of them, bringing us into a post-apocalyptic America that’s stuck with the look of the ‘50s and the soul of the Wild West. It’s adapted by Jonathan Nolan, who’s previously worked on sci-fi TV shows like “Westworld.” Pedro Almodovar was once linked to a “Brokeback Mountain” adaptation, a story that trails two cowboys‘ long and tortured romance.
Gina Carano is once again slamming Disney.
Brent Lang Executive Editor There was something fitting about the setting. Paramount Pictures unveiled the first footage from “Gladiator II” on the stage of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a hotel that reimagines Ancient Rome in all its decadent splendor, albeit with a few more slot machines. Ridley Scott seems to be offering a bloodier version of that distant age, one that finds Paul Mescal enter the arena as a nobleman who has renounced his privilege.
Pedro Pascal is heading out after a workout.
Carolyn Giardina Three-time Oscar-nominated director Chris Sandlers and Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o previewed unfinished footage of DreamWorks Animation‘s “The Wild Robot” at CinemaCon — what Sandlers says took inspiration from Disney classics and Hayao Miyazaki’s work, resulting in an original virtual style that he described as “a Monet painting in a Miyazaki forest.” Based on Peter Brown’s book, the story follows Roz, a robot voiced by Nyong’o, who is accidentally marooned on an uninhabited island. There, the city robot meets and learns from the animals in her new environment. In this rich world, a fox meets and advises Roz.
While Amazon MGM Studios didn’t take the stage at CinemaCon, they did meet with exhibitors and key press to strut their future theatrical slate, in particular they showed off ten minutes of the Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans’ movie Red One. While we agree to keep mum about the details of the Santa Claus rescue movie, let’s just say the originally conceived for Prime Video title is definitely meant for theatrical, which is where it’s going on Nov. 15; the only wide release currently on that weekend.
