Johnny Storm (Marvel Comics character)/Story

Jonathan Lowell Spencer "Johnny" StormThank you, @chrisevans. Some of the greatest moments I’ve ever experienced in a theater were authored by this guy. Some of the hardest laughing I’ve ever done came from listening to Chris tell a story — about anything. And he got me again this year. Chris is one of those movie stars who’s actually better than you hope he is. And people hold him to a crazy high standard. He‘s just the absolute best. Part of the movie’s theme is saying goodbye… And one of the gifts of working on the film is that we got to say goodbye on different terms. Seeing Johnny Storm (if only for a short while) was like seeing someone you miss come back from the dead in a dream. Way too brief and too lovely to be real. Goodbyes are hard. It was hard saying goodbye to Chris Evans’ Johnny Storm. But at least we got to actually say it this time. On the other hand, it wouldn’t have been necessary if he hadn’t run his fat-ass mouth around Cassandra. Or if she hadn’t zip-zapped his skin, leaving his organs to splash crudely onto the ground, while the soil greedily drank his blood. It was horrible. Jonathan Lowell Spencer Storm: We love you. Wherever you are, I’m sure you’re thriving. #FlameOff - Ryan Reynolds - 8 August 2024 - Instagram - Retrieved 10 August 2024 was an American superhero, astronaut, and celebrity of the 21st century. 
==Biography ==
=== Military Career ===
Storm served under Ben Grimm in the United States Marine Corps.When Storm first meets Grimm in the film, he baits the latter by shouting "Captain on the bridge," and then refers to him as his "hard-ass former CO". While neither character is explicitly stated to have served in any branch of the military in any of the films they appear in, given Grimm's reaction to hearing the rank of "captain" and his history in the comics, it is likely the filmmakers intended to state both had served in the Marines.

*Evans stated his wish to return to the role in 2022, stating "Wouldn't that be great? No one's ever come to me about that. I mean, I don't exactly look the same anymore. That was 15, almost 20 years ago. But I really love that character... I mean, I guess all bets are off. Yeah. Look, I would love it. I would love it. That would actually be an easier sell to me than coming back as Cap. You know what I mean? Cap is so precious to me. And you know, I almost don't wanna disrupt what a beautiful experience that was. But Johnny Storm, I feel like he didn't really get his day. That was before Marvel really found its footing.
