Fantastic Four's Joseph Quinn Reveals Why He Dyed His Hair Blond
Joseph Quinn says he went to Lupita Nyong'o for advice
The Stranger Things star decided to take the Academy Award-winning actress' advice sincerely for his much-awaited Marvel debut.
During an interview of The Fantastic Four: First Steps cast with Alan Cumming on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Joseph Quinn revealed that he reached out to his friend Lupita Nyong'o to prepare for his first movie of the franchise. He shared that the Black Panther actress suggested he should go 'blond' for the role.
However, the commitment towards the role did not just end at Quinn dying his hair; Pedro Pascal joked that you also have to 'gotta go blond from the inside.' To this, the 31-year-old actor retorted, 'It's funny that I never knew I had just a little blond boy inside me. And it felt like coming home.'
Meanwhile, Quinn and Nyong'o previously worked together in A Quiet Place: Day One. The duo's close friendship that started from the film's set even sparked dating rumors. The speculations regarding their relationship intensified when the Us actress brought him to the 2024 Academy Awards. (via Cosmopolitan)
While the dating rumors proved unfounded, fans felt Joseph Quinn and Lupita Nyong'o's on-screen chemistry was effortless. In a chat with Refinery 29, she revealed that they first met when cameras were already rolling, which helped their bond translate on screen.
The pair also connected over their 'similar' attitude towards the work. Nyong'o explained, 'What I'll say is that Joe [Quinn] has a similar work ethic to me.' She added, 'He's not concerned with his ego as much as he's concerned with rooting for his character. He comes to work with a buoyancy, and he's present.'
Currently, Joseph Quinn is gearing up for the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

Penny-pinching is keeping the big brands away from Comic-Con this year
This year's San Diego Comic-Con is starting to sound like it'll be a bit of a ghost town—at least, as far as hypothetically huge blockbuster movies are concerned. Not to cast aspersions or anything, but when the biggest film that the world's largest movie studios can muster up to pack people in to the Con's fabled Hall H is a Tron sequel, you know something has gone awry. The Wrap has a new report looking into the state of this year's Con, which will see Marvel and DC Studios both deciding not to bother with the Big Room, with the most that James Gunn's Warner Bros.-backed efforts willing to do is a panel on his soon-to-return TV series Peacemaker. Partly, this is a matter of pure timing: Both studios are releasing their big superhero tentpoles ahead of this year's SDCC, with Superman coming in two weeks before the Con's July 24 start date, while Marvel's Fantastic Four is opening at the same time as the convention itself. Having dispensed with the Four, Marvel genuinely doesn't seem to have much on tap to offer up as hype bait right now: There's a new Spider-Man movie out in a year, but Avengers: Doomsday has now been pushed to next fall; better, the thinking seems to be, to save some money and let anticipation grow, rather than drop several hundred thousand dollars to trot the casts out with no new footage to show. As noted by The Wrap, DC probably could field something exciting for the Con, given that Gunn is sitting on hard drives full of footage of Craig Gillespie's Supergirl, due out next June. (The movie finished shooting back in May, right around the time it ditched its Woman Of Tomorrow subtitle.) But the studio is apparently holding back, possibly to launch an effort at a different Comic-Con later in the year. (And a little less far out from the movie's eventual release.) Honestly, the whole thing can't help but feel like a symptom of the general wave of diminishing returns that seem to be afflicting superhero films as a whole over the last few years: Marvel had two different films (Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*) both land in the sub-$500 million box office bracket, which has maybe made Disney a little less eager to pay stars (and their stylists, managers, and other various highly necessary associates) to trek out to San Diego to wave at the crowds. Marvel managed to summon up a bit of that old excitement last year, when it gave Hall H a full-court press that ended in the reveal that Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom, but you can only pull that ripcord so often; as is, it feels like the spectacle of the big superhero Comic-Con appearance is currently going the way of the big superhero movie as a whole.
