First Look At Joseph Quinn As The Human Torch In The Fantastic Four Shown In New MCU Set Photos (2025)

Joseph Quinn steps out in his Human Torch costume for The Fantastic Four: First Steps in new Marvel Cinematic Universe set photos. Marvel Studios is finally bringing one of their most anticipated reboots of all time to the audience as The Fantastic Four: First Steps is on its way. While 2024 may have only had one theatrical release for Marvel Studios, the MCU timeline will be back with its multiple releases in 2025, which includes The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is still in the midst of principal photography, and thanks to Fantastic Four Updates, new photos have finally arrived featuring Quinn in his Human Torch suit. While Quinn is the only cast member spotted in The Fantastic Four: First Steps photos, whatever Johnny Storm scene he is shooting involves him on a beach.

What Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm Set Photos Mean For The Fantastic Four: First Steps

As The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been filming since August, they have likely, by now, filmed most of their interior scenes, meaning that the production is now moving more forward with their exterior shoots for the Phase 6 installment. To this point, other cast members have only been seen filming by themselves through other The Fantastic Four: First Steps set videos or photos. However, it might mean that The Fantastic Four: First Steps is now getting closer to doing more outdoor shoots with the whole cast in their costumes in the coming days or weeks.

Quinn's set photo could set up the idea of him either being in a different city or perhaps even a different planet, especially if The Fantastic Four: First Steps involves the concept of the heroes traveling in space. Through other The Fantastic Four: First Steps set photos with locations, they have teased that the story may take place in other places, too. Since this version of the Fantastic Four is also set to already be established in this iteration, traveling between planets would seem like something that would be common for them at this point.

Our Take On The Fantastic Four: First Steps Set Photos

From everything that has been revealed through The Fantastic Four: First Steps set photos thus far, it is clear that Marvel Studios is focusing hard on making this a very different, but exciting MCU film. With the concept of the movie taking place not only in the 1960s but also on another Earth, The Fantastic Four: First Steps will have more creative freedom with this movie in comparison to some of their past and upcoming releases. Hopefully, it won't be long until all of The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast members are seen together in public as filming gets closer to being done.
