Joseph Quinn is Johnny Storm/The Human Torch

good to know he's working out for the role... but, he doesn't seem all that enthusiastic about

I get working out isn't everyones thing... but, could act little more pumped about it
As someone who hates working out, I feel him lol
 
I don’t know, if it is 60s inspired he won’t need that, like dehydrated men’s health look. So I don’t think he needs the gym.

To be honest we probably shouldn’t encourage that insane sort of muscle like we’ve seen in the past

He only started training recently so I don't think that's what they are going for. It takes several months at least to get that look, he'd had to have started way earlier for that.

I think it's just to get get abs and defined muscles for any shirtless scenes he might have considering Johnny is meant to be eye candy.
 
Yeah, I’d think it would just be to trim him up some and make him not look too doughy.

Johnny isn’t Thor, and it would feel wrong if they really bulked him up.
 
I wouldn't describe Quinn as "doughy" he seemed very lean and skinny to start...
so tho, adding bulk wouldn't be my first thought, be would need to add some tone and shape...

...in these more recent photo shots he's done you can certainly see the start of him adding some shape and tone without being "bulky"... but, Idk if this would really be his final form we see on screen (marvel likes there "fit" heroes) everyone goes throu the Marvel training program
 
For those worried about him bulking up too much, this is from a recent interview with Men's Health :

"I’ve got a wonderful trainer named Tim who’s brilliant, and is making me do all the things I don’t want to do. We’re not going for anything too enormous, physically, he just needs to look the part, and slowly, slowly, we’re getting there."
 
Joseph is great casting, but my god his hair is atrocious.
 
I like his hair just fine. I'm impressed by the cast, albeit it not sure sure about Thing.
 
I thought Joseph looked pretty good in the role. The flying looks pretty fun.
 
Out of the 4, he's the one I am least looking forward to see.

Chris Evans in Deadpool & Wolverine is still fresh in my memory.
Chris was horrible as Torch in Deadpool & Wolverine and in the 2005-2007 FF. Then again, Deadpool & Wolverine was also crap.
 
Chris Evans was fantastic as the Human Torch. His best work as an actor.
 
Nah, his best work was as Cap. Or possibly in Knives Out
 
Human Torch would be a top contender I want in a Spider-Man movie
As tired as I am of Holland's Spider-Man never being able to be on his own without another MCU hero, I would absolutely welcome Johnny co-starring in one. Not just because it's accurate to the comics but also because it'd be a lot of fun to see Holland and Quinn interact with each other. Hell, I wouldn't even be upset to see Reed, Sue and Ben in significant roles in a Spidey movie as well if it means we'd get to see them sooner. A potential Spider-Man 5 probably would be coming not too long after Secret Wars anyway.
 
I really enjoyed him. Still hate his hair but everything else was good. He's toned down in the playboy aspect compared to Evans character but didnt really take away from anything.
 
He was a pretty good human torch, probably not as good as Chris. Not sure the joke about the surfboard landed but that’s also not great writing

I still prefer Chris Evans as Human Torch upon seeing the new film. But Human Torch here was written better compare to previous films. I'm just not 100% completely sold with the actor.
