In 2015, a reboot of Fantastic four failed miserably. Now one of its stars, Miles Teller, who played Reed Richards, has blamed a key person for this.
In an interview with SiriusXMhe opens up about the failure of the 20th Century Fox remake, stating, “I think it’s unfortunate for it because so many people worked so hard on that movie. Honestly, maybe there was a really important person who messed with the whole thing. Yeah.”
The star did not name the person as he shared that he signed up for the film because of the lead role in a superhero movie and an excellent cast.
“Especially as a young actor at the time, it’s like, ‘Okay, if you want to be taken seriously as a leading man, you’ve got to get on this superhero train,'” he adds.
“And that was our chance, and the casting, I thought, was spectacular. I love all those actors.”
But when he saw the film, Miles says, “I remember talking to one of the studio executives and I thought, ‘I think we’re in trouble.’
Directed by Josh Trank Fantastic four reboot was such a disaster for 20th Century Fox that they canceled the planned sequel.
Disney eventually bought the studio and greenlit their version of the film, which was released last July to positive reviews.
