Sometimes that can involve a bit of dickishness too,” _Esquire_ wrote in the piece. Teller responded to the magazine on Wednesday afternoon with one tweet: > [](https://twitter.com/Miles%5FTeller/status/629045612567248896) But now some of his _Fantastic Four_ costars have chimed in to back their colleague. Jamie Bell was first, calling Teller “a great guy.” > [](https://twitter.com/1jamiebell/status/629100074837102592) While Kate Mara — whose character, Sue Storm, eventually marries Teller’s Reed Richards in _Fantastic Four_ — quickly followed suit. > [](https://twitter.com/katemara/status/629100808626421760) The fourth member of the cinematic superhero squad, [Michael B. Jordan](https://twitter.com/michaelb4jordan "undefined"), has yet to tweet anything.
