Divergent' star Miles Teller discussed in a recent interview his thoughts about joining the cast as Mr. Fantastic in 20th Century Fox's movie reboot of "The Fantastic Four."

"Well, for me I didn't grow up really as a comic book kid necessarily. Fantastic Four is my dad's favorite superhero comic. And so for me I guess what attracted me originally was Josh Trank," said Teller to IGN referring to the Fantastic Four remake's movie director adding. "I think Josh Trank is a very creative, inventive guy. You look at Chronicle, you look at what he did for that budget and just how he told the story was really well done. I want to chase directors at this point, and then the cast kind of came together -- Michael B. (Jordan), Kate Mara, and Jamie Bell -- I was very excited."

Teller continued to express his thoughts in the IGN article.

"I was joking around about a year ago, 'I guess I'll be playing a superhero soon' because that's just the world that we're in, but I think a lot of times it just looks like Hollywood actors in Halloween costumes, you know? And I think what we're going to do with Fantastic Four is going to be very grounded and it made sense to me," said Teller to Ign.

Teller further expressed on what made him decide to join the film's cast.

"When I read the script, I didn't feel like I was reading this larger-than-life, incredible superhero tale," said Teller to IGN adding. "These are all very human people that end up having to become I guess what is known as the Fantastic Four. So for me it was just a really good story and gives me an opportunity to play something different from my own skin. It's a proper character and that's my favorite stuff to do."

"The Fantastic Four" movie reboot is set to arrive in American theaters on June 19, 2015.
