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, and 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 4 (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. Quinn had his first solo starring role in a major release as an addicted man in writer-director Bret Easton Ellis’ psychological drama, Relapse (date to be announced).
