Joseph Quinn has successfully made a major transition from high-caliber TV/streaming series (including
Game of Thrones, Steve McQueen’s
Small Axe, and
Stranger Things) to the big screen, starting with his feature debut in the WWII alt-history thriller co-written by Billy Ray and Mark L. Smith,
Overlord (2018), with Jovan Adepo,
Wyatt Russell, Mathilde Ollivier, John Magaro, and Bokeem Woodbine, under
Julius Avery’s direction for Paramount Pictures and producer J.J. Abrams’s Bad Robot.
After co-starring in director-writer Claire Oakley’s little-seen British psychological thriller
, Make Up (2019), Quinn co-starred in another directorial debut—writer-director Luna Carmoon’s mother-daughter drama,
Hoard (2023), with Hayley Squires, premiering at the Venice Film Festival.
Quinn was then cast opposite
Lupita Nyong’o in Paramount Pictures’ much-anticipated prequel,
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024), directed and written by
Michael Sarnoski and with Alex Wolff and
Djimon Hounsou. Quinn landed a choice supporting role in
Ridley Scott’s long-awaited sequel,
Gladiator II (2024), starring
Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington,
Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, Fred Hechinger, and Derek Jacobi, and co-released by Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures.
Joseph Quinn co-starred with Cosmo Jarvis, Will Poulter, and Charles Melton in the war movie,
Warfare (date to be announced), co-written and co-directed by
Alex Garland and
Ray Mendoza, and then joined Marvel Studios’ reboot of
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) as Johnny Storm, co-starring Pedro Pascal,
Vanessa Kirby, Ralph Ineson, Julia Barner, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Paul Walter Hauser,
Natasha Lyonne, and
John Malkovich, under
Matt Shakman’s direction.
