While attending
the premiere of his latest film, Whiplash, actor Miles Teller spoke with
Vulture about the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, where he plays Reed Richards,
aka Mr. Fantastic.
Teller began
by comparing the upcoming FF helmed by Josh Trank to the previous two
installments.
“It’s
different in every way,” Teller said. “All those actors were a lot older, their characters
were in different places. The tone of this film is completely different: We
don’t have Michael Chiklis in a big Styrofoam thing, and I think that [a more
grounded approach] is what people are into — X-Men: First Class is
doing that. You’re dealing with these characters but you’re making them real
people in how they exist day-to-day. People wanted it to be taken more
seriously than the kind of Dick Tracy, kitschy, overly comic-book world.”
The new Fantastic Four will be sharing
the year with other comic book based films, like Avengers: Age of Ultron in May
and Ant-Man in July. Will that saturate the market when FF comes out in June?
“At the end
of the day, it depends on the product,” he said. “Guardians
of the Galaxy was a really fresh take on it, I think people responded to
that. In terms of where we are in the schedule, we’re playing the same weekend
they were playing. But it’s a big summer: You’ve got Avengers, and my
buddy [Whiplash co-star J.K. Simmons] is in Terminator, and you got Jurassic
World. There’s a ton of movies out there, so if people have an appetite for it,
they’ll see a couple, and if not, maybe they’ll just see one.”
Fantastic Four stars Michael B. Jordan as Johnny
Storm/Human Torch, Miles Teller as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Jamie Bell as
Ben Grimm/Thing, Kate Mara as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Toby Kebbel as Dr.
Doom, Tim Blake Nelson as Harvey Elder/Mole Man and Reg E. Cathey as Dr. Storm.
