Fantastic Four star Joseph Quinn hasn't reached out to former Human Torch actors Chris Evans and Michael B. Jordan.

"I haven’t gotten in touch with them – maybe I should. It’s important to claim these opportunities as your own," Quinn told Men's Health. "I think they both did incredible jobs, and I’m definitely aware of how much this role means to a lot of people, and how successful they were in portraying him. I think it’s important to come at this with reverence for the people that have played it before, but an intention to make it one’s own. We’ll see."

Chris Evans played Johnny Storm in 2005's Fantastic Four and 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. The franchise was rebooted in 2015 with Michael B. Jordan in the role, though a sequel was subsequently canceled. (There's also that 1994 Fantastic Four movie that was never released, in which both Jay Underwood and Phillip Van Dyke played Johnny Storm.)
