The Wrap Up: Miles Teller Knows How Much You Hate His ‘Fantastic Four’ Casting

FEATURED: Speaking with The Huffington Post, 'Fantastic Four' star Miles Teller said he's aware that comic book fans aren't crazy about his casting:

If we’re going to be up for everybody’s public disposal of it, I try not to get too caught up with anything on the Internet. Out of sight is out of mind for me a lot of the time. I already know that people hate me for the fact that I’m playing Reed Richards and that we’re ruining their franchise. It’s tough because when you’re taking on a franchise that’s already been established, you do kind of owe something to the characters and to the creator. At the same time, you want to bring it to a fresh audience. My dad grew up with the "Fantastic Four" comic book and not a lot of kids did, so you also want to make a movie that they can enjoy. I will say that this film that we made is not really for little kids, I don’t think. We do take a more mature approach.
