Actor Miles Teller is dishing details about what’s to come in the “Fantastic Four” reboot.
During an interview with Vulture, Teller claimed the new “Fantastic Four” wouldn’t resemble the original live-action movie released in 2005
“It’s different in every way,” Teller told Vulture. “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.”
Teller also isn’t concerned with amount of the superhero set to launch over the next few years. The actor feels the “Fantastic Four” reboot will provide fans with quality entertainment.
“At the end of the day, it depends on the product,” Teller 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.” And if they see one, Teller hopes they’ll see Four.”
The “Fantastic Four” reboot will be released to theaters on June 19, 2015.
