Miles Teller Blames Unnamed 'Important Person' for 2015 Fantastic Four Collapse

The remark revives scrutiny of a troubled production long detailed in reports of on-set conflict.

Overview

  • Miles Teller said in a new SiriusXM interview that one unnamed figure "kind of f—ed it all up" on the 2015 Fantastic Four.
  • Without naming anyone, Teller added that after his first screening he told a studio head, "I think we're in trouble."
  • The Josh Trank–directed film holds a 9% Rotten Tomatoes score and took in about $167 million worldwide on a reported $120 million budget, leading to scrapped sequel plans.
  • Previous reporting described serious on‑set problems, including allegations of abusive behavior and a near physical confrontation between Trank and Teller, while Kate Mara later called her experience "horrible."
  • The franchise has since been rebooted in the MCU with The Fantastic Four: First Steps, now streaming on Disney+, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
