Why Marvel Fans are Questioning Joseph Quinn’s Fantastic Four Casting
On one hand, Marvel fans are excited about the inclusion of Pedro Pascal in the superhero franchise, on the other hand, they are disappointed over Joseph Quinn’s casting as Johnny Storm in The Fantastic Four.

According to the announcement post on Instagram, Pedro Pascal would be seen as Reed Richards, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, and The Crown fame actor Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm. However, Marvel fans took to social media and reacted to Joseph Quinn’s casting as Johnny Storm in The Fantastic Four.
Marvel Fans Question The Casting Of Joseph Quinn As Johnny Storm In The Fantastic Four
After months of speculation around the casting of the upcoming installment of Fantastic Four, finally, Pedro Pascal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Vanessa Kirby, and Joseph Quinn would be seen as Reed Richards, The Thing, Sue Storm, and Johnny Storm respectively. Fans are extremely excited about the casting of The Last Of Us star Pedro Pascal but disappointed over the inclusion of the English actor as Johnny Storm.

Another Marvel fan posted on X-
“Johnny Storm is supposed to be a very attractive man, model-looking, playboy, ladies’ man, and womanizer whom a lot of women constantly droll over. It’s a very important part of his character. Nothing against Joseph Quinn but he doesn’t look the part at all.”
A few fans even pointed out that even Robert Downey Jr. was judged for his past when he was selected to play Iron Man. Now, almost after a decade of playing the character of Iron Man, it is next to impossible to imagine someone else in his shoes. So, it is better not to judge Joseph Quinn over his casting as Johnny Storm
