Miles Teller knew 2015's movie *Fantastic Four* movie was bad.

He explained as much recently on SiriusXM's *Radio Andy*, after host Andy Cohen asked him if he'd been aware at the time that the film would flop.

"When you were on the press tour for *Fantastic Four*, is it safe to surmise that y'all knew that the movie was not great?" Cohen asked.

Teller laughed and said that when someone does a Southern accent, they can say things "a little more cutting."

The *Whiplash* actor asked in a drawl, "You saw the movie, right? Your eyes were working during that time?"

Then he switched to his regular speaking voice.

"Yeah, I think it's unfortunate for that, because so many people worked so hard on that movie," Teller said. "And, honestly, maybe there was one really important person who kind of f---ked it all up."

While Teller did not name the person, Josh Trank, who directed the movie, memorably posted on social media just ahead of its release that it had been better, but would not be seen in that form.

"A year ago, I had a fantastic version of this," he wrote and deleted. "And it would've received great reviews. You'll probably never see it. That's reality though."

* *has reached out to Trank for comment.

Teller said he was especially disappointed by the movie's underwhelming performance because, at the time, young actors who wanted to "be taken seriously as a leading man" needed to play a superhero.

"And that was our chance," Teller said. "The casting, I thought, was spectacular. I love all those actors."

But the movie was panned by critics — it currently has a rancid nine percent score on Rotten Tomatoes — and it was considered a financial flop.

Teller costarred in *Fantastic Four *alongside Jamie Bell, Michael B. Jordan, and Kate Mara, all of whom are still successful working actors.**

And Teller is still a leading man. He stars alongside Elizabeth Olsen in romantic comedy *Eternity*, which arrives in theaters Nov. 26.
