Miles Teller and Kate Mara have blasted the "unwarranted hate" the new 'Fantastic Four' cast received.
The two actors have revealed that they got a lot of "negative" criticism when they - along with Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell - were announced as the stars taking over from the roles made famous by Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Ioan Gruffudd and Michael Chiklis.
Kate said: "I was very surprised at first, before any trailers were out, how negative people were without seeing anything."
Miles added: "That is true. A lot of just unwarranted hate..."
However, the stars added that the public perception switched once the trailer for the film coming out this month was released.
Speaking to MTV, Kate said: "Then that very quickly changed, when we actually showed some footage. So that was a nice thing."
Michael also revealed why he and the rest of the cast decided to take on the already-famous roles, explaining that it was director Josh Trank's vision for the decidedly darker 'Fantastic Four' film that hooked him.
He said: "I just knew he wanted to do something completely different. Tonally he wanted it to be more grounded, a little more gritty, a little darker.
"Just wanted to... not erase the thought, but change people's perception of the 'Fantastic Four,' based upon previous tries."

Kevin Connolly thinks the 'Entourage' movie marks "quite an accomplishment" for the cast of the hit TV series.
The eagerly-awaited comedy-drama film sees the likes of Kevin and co-star Jeremy Piven reprise their roles from the TV show, and the 41-year-old actor - who plays the part of Eric Murphy - thinks it's a major achievement to transfer a TV series to the silver screen.
He said: "There's a lot of great shows but very few great shows have parleyed that into a movie, so it's quite an accomplishment."
Kevin also confirmed that the much-discussed movie, which is due out in June, has evolved markedly ever since it was given the green light.
Asked how much of the film has changed, Kevin told Collider: "Well, like most screenplays, it takes lots of different forms. There's been a bunch of different drafts. It's evolved a great deal, and it continues to evolve. I never stops, we always get new pages.
"Doug [Ellin]'s the writer and director, and particularly writer/directors have a tendency to do that, they're always writing and they're always trying to make it better where they and when they can."
In addition to the show's regular cast, the 'Entourage' movie will feature cameos from a number of high-profile stars, including Mark Wahlberg, Jessica Alba and Liam Neeson.

One of the most "iconic" scenes in 'Spectre' has been previewed in a new video blog.
The latest teaser for the latest James Bond movie was released online last night (30.04.15), and it features a car chase through the streets of Rome between the iconic spy - who is played again by Daniel Craig - and Dave Bautista's villain Mr. Hinx.
In the clip, Dave said: "Tonight we have shut down the streets of Rome and we are going to see the hero Mr. Hinx chasing his evil nemesis James Bond.
"It's amazing. It's one of those scenes that's going to be very iconic. Just with the two cars racing through the streets of Rome - I mean, how often do you see that? It's one of those things you only see in a James Bond film."
The short film shows how the Aston Martins used in the film have been tested for stunt purposes and director Sam Mendes spoke of his pride in pitting one of the vehicles against a Jaguar for the chase scene.
He said: "I love the idea of this fantastic car being in a one-on-one battle with another incredible car from Jaguar, which is similarly extraordinary actually. So it's a cat-and-mouse game through the night time streets of Rome, at great speed, between two of the fastest cars in the world."
'Spectre' - which also stars Christoph Waltz, Ralph Fiennes and Monica Bellucci - has been filmed in a number of locations including Rome, Austria and Mexico City.
The film marks Craig's fourth outing as Bond and is scheduled for release in November 2015.

Josh Lawson was determined to make 'A Funny Kind of Love ' despite its "darker" subject matter.
The 33-year-old Australian actor - who wrote and stars in the erotic romantic film - has admitted its central themes discouraged film studios from backing his project.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Josh shared: "It took seven years to get the money to make the film because funding bodies were uncomfortable with the subject matter.
"But I refused to give in to changing the content because I truly believed that it was worth telling. And I honestly believed that it was not offensive in any way."
Josh said the film explores love in a more realistic way than the majority of Hollywood movies, which paint a very sanitised picture of romance.
He said: "The film has so much love and warmth in it, it allows you to go to some of the darker places without going over the line to meanness."
The filmmaker said he was determined to push the boundaries with the movie.
Josh shared: "I think it's important for any filmmaker to do content that has not been done before. So, did I find it uncomfortable doing certain things? No, not uncomfortable.
"I just knew I had to treat it very, very carefully in order to make it accessible to audiences."
'A Funny Kind of Love' is in UK cinemas from May 8.

Joss Whedon wanted Marvel to make a movie starring its Daredevil character.
The director, who recently helmed 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron', has revealed he was pushing the film studio to make a feature about the Marvel character, but it was ultimately decided he should have his own TV series on Netflix instead.
Speaking during the promotional tour for his new movie, Joss told IGN: "I fought for Daredevil to be a film instead of a TV show."
Joss said that although he wanted the character to appear on the silver screen, he admits Daredevil is better suited to the TV platform.
He said: "If the show's working, the show's working. Comic books are serialised entertainment and a lot of them lend themselves to TV shows as much or more than they do to movies.
"I like him because he's basically Marvel's Batman, thanks to Frank Miller basically. So for me I didn't think they'd be able to sustain that sort of mood on TV but TV has changed so much. It's come up so much that I think it might just be the right place."
Meanwhile, Joss revealed recently that he regrets cutting out so much of "shirtless Chris Hemsworth" from 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'.
The director explained: "We cut out an enormous bunch of shirtless Chris Hemsworth.
"I was like, 'You guys have to learn more about exploitation because you are not good at it.'"

'Kingsman: The Secret Service' is getting a sequel.
The 2014 spy action comedy film directed by Matthew Vaughn and starring Colin Firth just topped $400 million at the global box office, and a sequel is now in the works at Fox, although there is no release date as of yet, TheWrap reports.
Samuel L Jackson, Michael Caine and Taron Egerton co-starred in 'Kingsman', which had an $80 million production budget.
Matthew also co-wrote the film with Jane Goldman and produced the movie, which was based on the comic book 'The Secret Service', created by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons.
It was previously reported that Colin could star in a sequel for 'Kingsman', despite having been killed off in the first film.
The 54-year-old star appeared unlikely to return for the much-anticipated sequel after his on-screen character, Harry, was shot by Valentine - played by Samuel L Jackson - in the first movie.
Matthew previously said: "A lot of people are very upset that Colin might not be in the sequel. But I'm coming up with ideas at the moment.
"If people buy tickets in America, I've got a feeling we'll figure out a way for having Colin back."

Jeremy Renner has denied his 'Avengers' character Hawkeye is among the lesser of the superheroes.
The 44-year-old actor, who stars in 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron', has claimed that although his on-screen character doesn't boast the obvious supernatural powers of Thor and Hulk, he's a worthy member of the team.
He told 'The Tonight Show': "When you're on a team with the Hulk and Thor and we're all up there on the movie screen; will people believe that I'm not quite as tough, will anyone even notice me.
"Listen, I've got powers too and they're pretty sweet. I promise I can do so much more than just archery."
This comes shortly after Jeremy revealed he's not a comic book fan.
Despite starring as one of the central characters in the Marvel universe, Jeremy doesn't know much about the origins of the characters.
He recently said: "I don't really read comics."
Jeremy also revealed he spoke to co-stars Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr. before returning for the follow up movie.
He explained: "I remember talking about, not the specifics of but the ideas of what happens to Hawkeye in this movie with Downey and [director Joss Whedon] and Ruffalo.
"There were some very cool ideas and we were able to implement them in this film, which was very, very exciting."

Kristen Wiig finds it frustrating that people don't take her drama seriously.
The 41-year-old actress is best known for satirical TV show 'Saturday Night Live' and comedy 'Bridesmaids' and she admits it is hard when people laugh at her "dramatic" scenes because they only expect her to be funny.
Kristen - who can next be seen playing a lottery winner who quits her psychiatric medication and buys a talk show in 'Welcome to Me' - said: "I always say people know you how they know you and I think people know me probably from 'SNL' and 'Bridesmaids'.
"I've done a couple of things that have been dramatic and sometimes I get frustrated because...there was a scene I shot once where it was like, 'Oh this woman is so sad that she's doing this thing' and when we screened it people laughed.
"I was really nervous about that with ['Welcome to Me'] because I know that there's some really dark moments and there's some really funny moments and it's kind of up to the audience to interpret them."
And Kristen was very "nervous" about the comical moments in her new movie because she didn't want it to come across that her character was a figure of fun.
Speaking to Violet Grey's The Violet Files, she said: "I didn't want to make it too light. And that was hard because there are funny things in this movie but I never wanted it to seem like I was making fun of her.
"I was more nervous about the comedy in the film than I was the drama for that reason."
In the film, Kristen shot a nude scene but didn't do so to be sexy.
She said: "Being naked in a film or on stage isn't always supposed to be sexy. It was the part and it felt right, so I did it."
"Of course you're nervous, and you know people are gonna make comments but if you care about that, your job instantly becomes more difficult. You have to do things for you."

Chris Evans thinks Captain America is a virgin.
The 33-year-old actor, who stars in 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron', has revealed he doubts whether the Marvel superhero has ever found love with a woman.
Looking forward to 'Captain America 3', Chris previewed: "I think we really scratched the surface on something great and I think there's just so much to explore.
"Not just with the evolution of myself and [Anthony Mackie's character, Falcon], but the reconnection with Bucky, and ultimately a relationship with a woman."
Asked whether the next film will feature a love interest, Chris told Entertainment Weekly: "It's funny when you think about it - he's probably a virgin. He's probably a virgin! I don't know when it would've happened."
What's more, Chris said Captain America is one of few Marvel characters who understands what it's like to be a victim.
Chris said: "He does have a healthy understanding of what it feels like to be powerless, to be the victim. But he also has a healthy understanding of what it is to be a soldier.
"I think anytime you meet anyone that's been in the military, when you fight alongside someone they become a brother. I think in a weird way he looks at his Avengers as his family at this point."
