Miles Teller just looked back at 2015's Fantastic Four

[https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/miles-teller-andy-cohen-live](https://www.siriusxm.com/blog/miles-teller-andy-cohen-live)

"At that time it's like alright, if you wanna be taken seriously as a leading man, you gotta get on this superhero train and that was our chance. And the casting I thought was spectacular. I love all those actors, but yeah when I first saw the movie, I remember talking to one of the studio heads, and I was like, I think we're in trouble."

The range of Miles Teller: From Whiplash to Fan4stic.

blue_friend2025-11-12 00:09

That spelling tripped me up even more without the T. “Fan-four-stic?”

EarAdministrative2112025-11-12 05:51

Bc it kinda looks like an a and a t

hooka_pooka2025-11-12 05:54

Imagine the plight of dyslexic kids

JBTriple2025-11-13 01:59

Is that not how it's normally pronounced?

blue_friend2025-11-13 02:38

There should be a T. “Fant”

JBTriple2025-11-13 02:40

Right, but you still say the four is what I'm saying.

blue_friend2025-11-13 02:42

Yes of course. I just couldn’t see how the word made sense the way the producers intended which is why I was extra tripped up.

Kind of gives you.. whiplash

I think he's a great actor, I'm glad he's had success in other roles

Charquito842025-11-11 23:55

Whiplash is what won me over. He was also pretty fun on SNL a couple of weeks back.

upfromashes2025-11-11 22:23

I don't in particular like him, but it would be amazing casting if he came back as The Maker or whatever evil multiverse Reed Richards gets called.

MaxReb02025-11-11 23:31

I think he’d absolutely crush as The Maker

upfromashes2025-11-11 23:33

I think it would honestly be terrific.

Would it be amazing?

Bing_Bong_the_Archer2025-11-12 07:48

Would it be Web Of?

upfromashes2025-11-12 07:51

When the guy crafts a performance he's a real Maker.

The Maker!

BCEagle132025-11-12 02:49

It’s honestly still surprising that such a good cast was part of such a terrible movie

Rakan-Han2025-11-12 06:24

The 1st half was pretty good. It's the 2nd half that just fucking dropped the ball. It went from a passable superhero movie to "wtf is this? wtf is happening?"

yuvi30002025-11-12 07:29

For me, I thought the movie went from 80% introduction to suddenly 20% team-up and final boss battle and it did not feel like those two sections went together at all.

Either the whole movie should have been an intro movie and origin story with a less powerful antagonist at the end or it should have been just a little more fast-paced so we knew they were more experienced and it felt reasonable that the Four were essentially taking on a god at the end.

Rakan-Han2025-11-12 16:42

>I thought the movie went from 80% introduction to suddenly 20% team-up and final boss battle

**EXACTLY!** The sudden final boss was completely jarring and nonsensical.

Heisenburgo2025-11-12 18:20

There's that part in the middle of the movie where they're working for the government and then Ben headbutts a fugitive Reed, knocking him unconscious and then the film SUDDENLY jumps to one year later or some dumb shit like that. Then "Domashev" escapes and enters the NOT-Negative Zone and they defeat him in like 10 minutes. Absolutely schizophrenic editing and pacing.

chirpz882025-11-13 15:28

Iirc the movie was shirt like 90 minutes? And they cut a lot of stuff

Bing_Bong_the_Archer2025-11-12 07:48

Toby Kebbell should have been a bigger star

Qyro2025-11-12 11:24

Been saying this since Rock'N'Rolla

LaLionneEcossaise2025-11-12 16:17

Still bitter we haven’t had the promised sequel… “the Wild Bunch will be back in the Real Rock N Rolla.” Guy Ritchie owes us.

WatchOutForWizards2025-11-12 18:52

Tbf he had a run there where it seemed like Hollywood was trying to make him a big star but he just wouldn’t take.

Bing_Bong_the_Archer2025-11-12 22:28

I know! Shame, dude had serious talent

Grabthar-the-Avenger2025-11-12 10:48

Director Josh Trank was only 30 years old and had previously directed only one other film.

Fox thought they had the next Spielberg on their hands after he made Chronicle at 27, but it seems like he wasn’t ready for a 10x bigger budget and reports were the set was a disaster with a lot of things not even getting filmed

-NinjaTurtleHermit-2025-11-12 18:40

Seems to me, the problem stemmed from the studio meddling with Trank's vision. He had an ambitious plan and the money men lost faith halfway through and sent someone in to butcher the script. The rushed, generic ending is what wrecked that movie.

Grabthar-the-Avenger2025-11-12 18:50

Why does it seem that way to you? He was fired from a Star Wars film during Fantastic Four filming because Disney was hearing problematic stories about his production, Kate Mara later described him as abusive, and since then has only released *Capone* which sucked.

It seems to me that rushed ending was because he was disorganized and unable to actually get sequences filmed, which he admitted to a few years back throwing water on the possibility of a director’s cut

prountercoductive2025-11-12 05:57

I liked him as a Predator from Nashville on SNL

Usuallysad822025-11-12 06:05

I actually love this movie. I think Trank makes fantastic movies and this one actually felt like real human beings with feelings, instead of wacky impressions. The body horror and their reactions to it is great. The travel to the other dimension is also perfectly lackluster.

It really bums me out that everyone agrees it sucks, when it's sooooooo much better than the two Chris Evans ones.[Fantastic Four (2015)](https://youtu.be/r2dlINAeXPM?si=oOoj6nfpihHXA-TL)

the_old_coday1822025-11-12 06:07

Always doomed to fail. Came out in 2015 but had the “style” of a a pre-2010 comic movie. When the trend was to make them more grounded, dark, and gritty instead of sticking to the source material. In order to be “believable.” Similar to Spider-Man, X-Men, The Dark Knight, etc.

Heisenburgo2025-11-12 18:21

Come on, this film only came out one year after Amazing Spider-Man 2, which had a similar annoyingly-self-serious feel to it although certainly not as gritty.

the_old_coday1822025-11-12 18:35

TASM had a couple advantages. First, Spidey is still one of the most popular hero’s so it can ride on his name alone. Then, Andrew Garfield also helped that movie.

xdeath132025-11-12 16:54

I actually liked his Reed Richards. But really can’t sit through the entire movie.

Markus28222025-11-12 19:30

This movie is hella underrated. Do I care about any of the characters? Besides Reed probably not. Do I like dooms design? Fuck no.

Is everything else from fight choreography, to plot, to its themes, to its set design, to the cast and so much more like its realism, done extremely well? Hell yes. No I don’t really care all that much about the characters and it certainly has its flaws but it’s a damn good movie regardless
