Overview
- Miles Teller told SiriusXM that the film’s downfall came from “one really important person,” calling the outcome unfortunate for those who worked on it.
- After first seeing the final cut, Teller says he warned a studio head, “I think we’re in trouble,” and he reflected on industry pressure then to land a superhero lead.
- Teller did not name the individual, though coverage ties his comment to longstanding reports of clashes with director Josh Trank and visible studio reshoots.
- Trank posted, then deleted, a message before release claiming he had a better, unseen cut; coverage has linked the post to weak turnout as the film opened under $26 million domestically, below projections.
- The movie scored about 9% on Rotten Tomatoes and grossed roughly $167–168 million worldwide on a reported $120 million budget, with industry estimates of an $80–100 million loss and a planned sequel scrapped.
