The MCU is no stranger to fan debates and actor revelations sparking social media storms, but few have caused as much playful controversy as when rising star Joseph Quinn recently shared his personal Avengers dream team. While Marvel fans are accustomed to star-studded lineups and passionate opinions, Quinn’s latest comments have managed to ignite a unique kind of online frenzy.

Soon to debut as Johnny Storm slash Human Torch in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, unveiled his ideal Avengers lineup. He specifically named Thor, Sentry, and Iron Man as his top picks. The omission of Spider-Man, widely recognized as Johnny Storm’s best friend in the comics, immediately caught the attention of fans. Netizens then exploded with reactions, memes, and heated discussions about why Peter Parker did not make Quinn’s cut.  

  Joseph Quinn’s dream team reveal has not only fueled fan debates but also drawn attention to his upcoming role and the upcomings of the retro-futuristic Fantastic Four in the MCU. Quinn’s casting as Johnny Storm is highly anticipated, and his playful personality seems to align well with the character’s reputation as a charming, self-aware playboy. The actor’s candidness about his Avengers preferences has only heightened excitement for his debut and the potential for new on-screen friendships, even if his dream team doesn’t include Spider-Man.

  Fans were quick to point out the iconic friendship between Johnny Storm and Spider-Man in Marvel Comics lore, making Quinn’s exclusion of Spider-Man particularly surprising.

As the MCU continues to expand, fans remain eager to see how Johnny Storm and Spider-Man’s friendship might be explored—or if Quinn’s dream team will ever get a friendly neighborhood update.
