At the time of this writing, it has been almost 50 years since Bill Murray brought the Human Torch to life in audio drama form. In that time, he has largely stayed away from the Marvel Universe. It wasn’t until 2023 that he returned to it, taking on the minor role of Lord Krylar in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” Naturally, this foray into the comic book movie realm stirred up his past as the voice behind the aforementioned Fantastic Four member — a past he doesn’t have many memories of these days.

In October 2021, Murray appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to chat about a number of topics. One such point of discussion was his then-rumored involvement in the third “Ant-Man” film and his overall Marvel history. When Kimmel asked him if he had any recollection of taking part in the 1975 Fantastic Four radio adaptation, the actor admitted that his memory of the production was rather hazy. “All I remember saying is ‘Flame on!'” he shared with a smile. If there were ever a line to remember, the Human Torch’s catchphrase is undoubtedly the one.

Even though his run with the character was brief and pretty unmemorable, at the end of the day, the fact remains that Bill Murray will forever be a part of the Human Torch’s legacy, just as the Fantastic Four mainstay will always be a part of his.
