'Spider-Man' and 'Fantastic Four' Could Finally Team Up in New Marvel Crossover
Johnny Storm wanted it, and now Marvel fans may get it.
Joseph Quinn, who plays Johnny Storm in the new Fantastic Four: First Steps movie, has expressed his desire to team up with Tom Holland's Spider-Man. During a prior interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Quinn responded to a question about the comic book friendship between Storm and Peter Parker.
“That pairing makes sense to me and I think he’s brilliant and I’m up for it,” Quinn said.
“I think we’d have a laugh. I’ve never met Tom and I think he’s brilliant; his Peter Parker is the best one ever, I think he’s our best-ever Spider-Man, so why not? Let’s do it, get it moving.”
While Quinn's comments drew plenty of attention, Marvel president Kevin Feige's recent roundtable interview also brought mention of a potential Johnny Storm-Peter Parker collaboration.
As ScreenRant revealed, Feige called it a "blue sky dream" but one that's now "in the realm of possibility."
"We didn't do chemistry reads, but whenever we cast it is with that blue sky dream in mind of one day being able to do that," Feige said. "And that's a great example. That's one of the key relationships in Marvel comics is Johnny Storm and Peter Parker."
"And we've never been able to come close to it before and now it is in the realm of possibility. That's exciting. That gets me up in the morning."
Holland first portrayed Spider-Man in the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War. He was then featured in his own solo film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, in 2017.
Holland has played the iconic superhero role in several films, including the standalone Spider-Man movies and The Avengers.
While there's nothing set in stone yet, Feige's comments point to a potential Quinn and Holland pairing in a Marvel film down the line, something that comic book fans and moviegoers alike would surely love to see.
