On a rainy summer afternoon, Joseph Quinn’s balcony is filled with lush greenery. “I’ve been away for a month, so they’re all very cross with me,” quips the 30-year-old actor, revealing his endearing side as he tends to his plants.

Joseph has captivated audiences in recent years, first by channeling his guitar prowess as Eddie Munson in “Stranger Things,” which not only won hearts but also caught the attention of superstar rapper Doja Cat. Their rumored romance is just one facet of a life that’s swiftly moving towards the A-list.

In the months following his stint in “A Quiet Place: Day One,” where he navigated an alien apocalypse, Joseph is set to step into a new universe as the Human Torch in Marvel’s upcoming film “The Fantastic Four.” Alongside acclaimed actors Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, this project promises electrifying performances.

“The group chat is popping off,” Joseph smiles. “I think it’s gonna be a giggle.”

Before the superhero saga takes off, Joseph is set to play Emperor Geta in “Gladiator II,” a film that brings Ridley Scott’s iconic vision of ancient Rome back to life. This ambitious project reunites him with co-star Pedro Pascal and introduces Denzel Washington alongside Paul Mescal.

“It’s fucking nuts,” Joseph admits. “Pedro is hilarious—he kept morale up—and Paul set the precedent by working incredibly hard.”

Raised amidst the creative pulse of London, Joseph grew up traversing “both sides of Clapham Common,” inspired by his parents’ work in TV production and cinematography. This foundation set him on a path to the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

From early roles adorned with ruffs and waistcoats in period dramas, Joseph’s career took an exciting turn with “Stranger Things.” His charisma quickly led him from screen to catwalks, marking his presence at high-profile fashion events for brands like Gucci, Valentino, Loewe, Acne Studios, and Our Legacy.

With a newfound ability to be selective about his roles, Joseph is next involved in the Iraq-set “Warfare” with Will Poulter and Charles Melton. He’s also set to feature in Bret Easton Ellis’s directorial debut, “Relapse,” described as “very Easton Ellis-y.”

Joseph’s Vision for Cinema

• Tell stories that are confrontational and challenge the audience.
• Avoid patronizing viewers with meaningful narratives.

Jospeh Quinn is not just an actor; he’s a storyteller, poised to leave a significant mark on the cinematic world. As his journey unfolds, all roads seem to lead to the A-list, where creativity and ambition meet.
