Summary
- Miles Teller blames one "really important person" for "Fantastic Four" failure
- Teller felt the movie was doomed after seeing the final version
- Teller disappointed as "Fantastic Four" was his chance to be taken seriously

According to a recent interview, actor Miles Teller did not hold back when reflecting on the 2015 box office flop "Fantastic Four." Teller, who starred in the superhero film, believes one specific person was responsible for the movie's failure.
During the interview, Teller candidly shared his stance on the "Fantastic Four" reboot, which was released by 20th Century Fox over 10 years ago. When asked if he knew the movie "wasn't great" during the press tour, Teller quipped, "You saw the movie, right? Your eyes were working during that time?"
Teller went on to say that he was disappointed by the outcome, as the film was his chance to be "taken seriously as a leading man." He noted that the casting was "spectacular," with himself, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, and Toby Kebbell all starring in the movie.
However, Teller felt the film was doomed from the start. "I remember talking to one of the studio heads, and I was like, 'I think we're in trouble,'" he recalled. Teller believes "one really important person" is to blame for the movie's disastrous performance, likely referring to director Josh Trank, who had publicly criticized the final version of the film.
Despite the talented cast and crew, "Fantastic Four" brought in just under $26 million domestically, which was $14 million less than what was projected. Teller's candid comments shed light on the behind-the-scenes struggles and the impact of the film's poor reception on the actors' careers.
