Miles Teller is ready to stretch himself as Mr. Fantastic one more time.
The “War Dogs” star says that is open to doing a sequel to the 2015 20th Century Fox/Marvel superhero movie “Fantastic Four.”
“Yeah, for sure. I loved the cast, I loved the characters. I think it’s such an interesting dynamic,” Teller told JoBlo. “I love how much they really need to rely on each other. This Avengers thing, they’ve kind of created their own Fantastic Four in a way, Marvel’s first family. Their powers can’t just exist on their own, you need Thor to do this, the Hulk to do his thing. So yeah, absolutely, I would do another one.”
While Teller might be willing to put on his superhero tights one more time, chances are the studio won’t be rushing this one into development.
“Fantastic Four” proved to be a major box office bomb. The $120 million film grossed a dismal $56 million domestically. It went on to gross more than $160 million worldwide, but that is not quite the performance a studio looks for in a potential franchise picture.
Director Josh Trank claimed in a since deleted tweet that his original cut of the film was much better, but the studio insisted he reshoot it to make it into what it became.
