Joseph Quinn Wants a Marvel Team-Up With Tom Holland: “He’s Our Best-Ever Spider-Man”

On Monday, the star-studded cast of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” featuring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, continued their global promotional tour in Los Angeles, introducing Marvel’s First Family to the city.

In this movie, which is reminiscent of the ’60s with a touch of futurism, we join forces with Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing as they fight to protect our planet from threats posed by Galactus and Silver Surfer.

In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Quinn (previously vying for the role of Spider-Man but now known as Johnny Storm/Human Torch) expressed his hopes for collaborating with Tom Holland within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is because, in the comics, their characters, Spider-Man and Johnny Storm, share a close friendship.

The actor expressed enthusiasm about the pairing, praising the individual as exceptionally talented. He mentioned that they’d likely have a good time together, as he hasn’t met this person before but admires their work immensely. In his opinion, the person playing Peter Parker is outstanding and is the best Spider-Man yet. So, he’s open to the collaboration and ready to proceed with the project.

In the movie, Kirby, playing Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, shared insights about her experience, since she’s expecting her first baby in real life and her character is portrayed as a mother on screen too.

It’s quite unusual for me, and an incredibly poignant aspect of this film is that Sue, who is a main character, spends a significant portion of it pregnant, giving birth, and caring for a newborn while dealing with an enormous cosmic crisis threatening humanity. Despite her maternal responsibilities, she never steps back but instead remains fully involved. I believe this makes her stronger, and the experience of motherhood taught me a great deal about its immense power. I hope that her portrayal in the comics and on screen accurately reflects this.” (Kirby explained)

Julia Garner, known for portraying the highly anticipated Silver Surfer character, playfully remarked that the team “made me seem a lot more stylish than I truly am” with their special effects. She added, “I’ve never tackled acting like this before, and I believe it’s crucial for an actor to experiment with various techniques and learn what succeeds and what doesn’t. I had a blast working on this project, making it an exhilarating experience. If given the opportunity, I would certainly do it again.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters on Friday. See the first reactions here.
