Chris Evanstook the world by storm (pun definitely intended) earlier this year with his performance as Johnny Storm/the Human Torch inDeadpool & Wolverine, the superhero tentpole that grossed over $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office. Evans’ appearance was one of many in a multiverse-shattering Phase 5 installment that brought back classic characters likeWesley Snipe’s Blade and introduced new legends likeChanning Tatum’s Gambit. Now, Hot Toys is celebrating Evans’ return to Marvel by releasing a new figure based on Evans’ appearance as Johnny Storm in the film. The new collectible comes with a fire-whirling accessory that wraps Johnny in his signature flame, and also multiple variants of his outfit include his Fantastic Four suit as well as a rugged overcoat with a hood.
Chris Evans’ Johnny Storm is also not the first member of the Resistance fromDeadpool & Wolverineto be blessed with a new Hot Toys figure. The studio recently droppeda new figure ofDafne Keen’s X-23based on her look in the film, while also teasing before the end of 2024 thatmore collectibles were coming for all the other heroes, including the aforementioned team members and evenJennifer Garner’s Elektra. Hot Toys also dropped several collectibles whileDeadpool & Wolverinewas still playing in theaters, including several of the Deadpool variants like Dogpool and Nicepool.Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine also got his fair share of Hot Toys figures, but all were based on his primary appearance instead of those of his multiversal counterparts. Fans remain on edge for the announcement and first-look images of Tatum’s Gambit Hot Toy, which will certainly send the internet into a frenzy.
Chris Evans Isn’t Done With Marvel Yet
Chris Evans’ role inDeadpool & Wolverinewas his first time in the Marvel universe sinceAvengers: Endgame, but the Captain America star has decided he’s ready to come back for one more bout. It was announced last year thatEvans would return to Marvelonce more inAvengers: Doomsdayto star alongsideRobert Downey Jr., but details about his role are being kept under wraps, and it’s unclear if he’ll be reprising his role as Captain America or Johnny Storm, or playing another role entirely. Nonetheless, his presence will certainly help generate hype and pump up box office results.
