The Big Picture Are you ready superhero fans? It might have taken a fair few years, but some of the most iconic and memorable characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are returning once more to the big screen. The heroic foursome of Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Thing and The Human Torch, altogether known as The Fantastic Four will be returning to the spotlight soon.
Fitted with the ability to cover himself in flames, Johnny Storm - who is portrayed by Joseph Quinn in this latest adaptation - is the comic relief source for the group as well as its youngest member. Often described as the cocky younger brother to Sue Storm, portrayed by Vanessa Kirby, the Human Torch has a high opinion of himself and dovetailing with his hotheaded attitude, often results in combustive reactions that end with him screaming, "Flame On.
The character of The Human Torch has be portrayed in previous installments by elite actors, albeit with the franchise never really taking off. While it can be argued that Michael B. Jordan failed to capture Johnny’s unique personality in the dismal outing that was Fant4stic, there seems to be a consensus that Chris Evans' performance in the duo of films from director Tim Story is the closest we have come to meeting the really Johnny Storm.
What is 'The Fantastic Four' About? Plot details for The Fantastic Four have, as one would expect, been closely guarded secrets. Directed by WandaVision's Matt Shakman, the film will star Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/the Thing alongside the aforementioned duo of Kirby and Quinn.
Release Date July 25, 2025 Director Matt Shakman Cast Vanessa Kirby , Pedro Pascal , Ebon Moss-Bachrach , Joseph Quinn Main Genre Superhero Writers Josh Friedman , Jeff Kaplan , Stan Lee , Ian Springer
