With a production start on the movie right around the corner, Joseph Quinn is discussing how it feels to be taking over the role of the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four from Chris Evans.

During a recent interview with Men’s Health to discuss the release of A Quiet Place: Day One, Quinn dove in a bit to the upcoming Fantastic Four MCU reboot. In reflecting on carrying on the role of the Human Torch from Chris Evans in the 2000s Marvel movies, Quinn acknowledged the major “responsibility” of playing the iconic hero, given “people care about these characters“, and assures that he is taking the task “very seriously” to stay true to what audiences hope to see from the role. Check out what Quinn said below:

It was great! It was a really lovely way to announce it — it was very sweet, and people responded well to it. It’s a little surreal, obviously. I’d be remiss to not acknowledge the fact that this stuff is something that people feel very strongly about. People care about these characters, and what heroism means to people, and that it can provide some light in dark times, and examples as well of how to conduct oneself, without trying to get too lofty. It’s a responsibility that I’m taking very seriously, and we all are. And we’re also going to have a lot of fun with it.
