If there is one star who got as many great opportunities as Millie Bobby Brown afterStranger Things, it would be Joseph Quinn. Fans might argue that the fan-favorite Eddie Munson actor had more versatility in his roles than Brown. When the new trailer for Marvel’sThe Fantastic Four: First Stepswas released recently, fans deduced that Quinn is about to receive more love for his new role.
The new trailer featured Quinn’s Johnny Storm flying around in flames. In betweenStranger ThingsandThe Fantastic Four, Quinn appeared in a few powerful roles, including a leading role. With each performance, Quinn seems to challenge himself to do more.
The Fantastic Four‘s Joseph Quinn might be the most versatile actor to come out ofStranger Things
Netflix’sStranger Thingsand its ensemble cast have a huge fanbase among TV viewers. While the lead stars are always beloved by fans, it is often observed that fans take a particular liking to characters who appear in just one season. It was the case with Sean Astin’s Bob Newby, Dacre Montgomery’s Billy Hargrove, andJoseph Quinn‘s Eddie Munson.

Quinn’s portrayal in Season 4 not only brought him popularity amongStranger Thingsfans, it alsoopened doors for him to perform in American films. Quinn graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and made his debut in the BBC One seriesDickensian. He further starred inHowards EndandLes Misérableson BBC One andCatherine the Greaton Sky Atlantic.
Quinn even played a minor role inGame of ThronesinSeason 7as one of the Stark soldiers. After his critically acclaimed role inStranger Things, Quinn was cast in several major studio films. Last year, Quinn made two notable appearances. In June 2024, he starred alongside Lupita Nyong’o in John Krasinski’s franchise film,A Quiet Place: Day One.
While his role in that film was a protagonist, he had a more antagonistic role in Ridley Scott’sGladiator II, where he portrayed Geta. Quinn’s name was added to the discussions for Johnny Storm in the MCU’sFantastic Fourfilm in 2023. In February 2024,his role was confirmedinThe Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Fans who saw him in the latest trailer are really happy with the career trajectory that he is on. The film could potentially give him a star status in Hollywood. It is something that the other stars ofStranger Thingshave failed to achieve despite appearing in season after season. Some fans believe that Quinn beatsMillie Bobby Brownwhen it comes to the selection of roles.

Quinn also brings the right amount of Sue Storm’s ‘kid brother’ energy to the role. Fans hope that Quinn gets to have a full character arc, which hopefully will get better treatment than that of Evans’ role in Fox’sFantastic Four. The trailer hints that the character still has a lot of maturing to do.
