Fantastic Four will be released via 20th Century Fox on August 7, 2015. A contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, Fantastic Four, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy. The film is directed by Josh Trank from a screenplay by Jeremy Slater and Simon Kinberg & Josh Trank, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The producers are Simon Kinberg, Matthew Vaughn, Hutch Parker, Robert Kulzer, and Gregory Goodman.
Miles Teller first broke onto the screen with his standout performance opposite Nicole Kidman in “Rabbit Hole.” Teller is also known for his roles in “The Spectacular Now,” “Whiplash,” “Divergent,” and “Insurgent.” He can also be seen in the upcoming films “Get A Job,” and “Bleed for This.”
