According to him, “There are aspects that are completely unique and their own. This novel approach is Marvel’s response to the phenomenon known as “superpower fatigue” after recent installments have not made a significant impact on the cultural landscape of 2023.
The entertainment giant is not resting on its laurels with the box office performance of films like “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels.” Instead, he is active in finding a formula that will renew his interest and enthusiasm for the film’s producers. Quinn added that the studio is “committed to adapting the Fantastic Four story.” This commitment is reflected not only in the script, which Quinn calls “brilliant,” but also in the choice of a cast that delivers memorable performances and unique direction.
In a context where superhero movies follow a predictable formula, “Fantastic Four” aims to break the mold. “Superhero movies are human stories. And if we’re invested in the people, the characters, the risk and the spectacle, that’s why people go to theaters,” Quinn explained.

Rebirth of cinematography to avoid genre saturation
Johnny Storm, played by Joseph Quinn, isn’t the only prankster of the group with pyrokinetic abilities. His character emerges as the emotional heart of “Fantastic Four,” providing both comic relief and moments of deep insight.

This complexity is essential to distinguish this new adaptation from its predecessors.

While previous installments of “Fantastic Four” have focused on visual spectacle and heroic conflicts, the current approach seems more inward and outward, seeking to explore the team’s internal dynamics and tensions as well as external conflicts. This particularly resonates with fans who have expressed a desire to see developed characters and plots rooted in real emotions.

The renewed interest in the Fantastic Four doesn’t just fall on the stars behind Johnny Storm. The team consists of actors such as Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic and Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman. Ebonne Moss-Bachrach also plays Ben Grimm/The Thing, and Julia Garner of Ozark fame joins the cast as Shala-Bal, the Silver Surfer version.
