'Fantastic Four' Cast Weighs In on Their Denny's Dishes

Miles Teller is way into the Denny’s Grand Slam menu — especially since a special menu-item has been named after his upcoming superhero movie Fantastic Four. The so-called “Slamtastic 4” menu at the chain restaurant includes a Human Torch Skillet, The Thing Burger, and the Invisible Woman Slam. 

But don’t ask Jamie Bell about it. The English actor, who plays The Thing in the film, doesn’t appear to know anything about the decidedly American diner menu — or the fact that a burger has been named after his character. If you watch the video above, you can see how his handy co-stars swoop in to save him: Teller details the origins of the Grand Slam menu, while Kate Mara chimes in with a deadpan “Denny’s is good.” (But does Mara really eat Denny’s? It’s probably best not to think to hard about it.) 

Fantastic Four, also starring Michael B. Jordan, fires up theaters Aug. 7.

New 'Creed' Trailer: Rocky Hits the Ropes and a New Champ Rises

The latest trailer for Creed, a new sequel/spinoff of the Rocky franchise by Fruitvale Station writer-director Ryan Coogler, offers some details about its characters, and a gut-punch to fans of the long-running boxing franchise.

Creed is meant to function as a generational torch-passing: Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), the underdog boxer at the center of six films, becomes the mentor of a fresh-faced young fighter named Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan), who just so happens to be the son of Rock’s old pal/rival Apollo. The basic premise was outlined in the first trailer, but the context in which the film will operate — and the troubles its characters will face — are really revealed in this new clip.

Adonis, who never knew his father, has been in and out of trouble his entire life, jailed over and over for street fights and other youthful transgressions. He has got a chip on his shoulder the size of a heavyweight title belt, which Rocky recognizes when he meets him at the city jailhouse, after bailing Adonis out. 

Rocky, too, is alone, having lost his wife, trainer, and friends. He’s still a powerful man but he’s on the emotional ropes, and his mentorship of Adonis — which begins after the boxer cuts that timely check to the Philadelphia Police Department — offers him another shot at both glory and family. 

But it won’t be as easy as helping a wayward kid get in shape; as the trailer shows, Rocky falls ill at one point, though the sickness is not revealed. It raises the stakes even higher, which is fitting, because this franchise has never been just about boxing.

Creed hits theaters on November 25.

First Creed Trailer: Sylvester Stallone Passes Gloves To New Protege

The first trailer for 'Creed' has landed, the 'Rocky' spin-off starring Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed, former rival then old friend Sylvester Stallone's Philadelphia slugger.

Taking on the mentor and trainer role played by Burgess Meredith in the original movie, Sly offers to train up the budding fighter Adonis Creed.

Just to recap – Creed, played by Carl Weathers, was killed in the boxing ring by Dolph Lundgren's Russian iron man Ivan Drago in 'Rocky IV', way back 1985.

Sly's Rocky then takes to the ring with Drago in revenge, but also to help the USA ideologically triumph over Russia (and get James Brown back on the stage too).

In this first trailer, the rippled Jordan is reminded that 'daddy died in the ring', before he meets up with Rocky, but also reveals that he never knew his father.

Directed by Ryan Coogler, who brought Jordan to prominence in 'Fruitvale Station', it also stars 'Selma's Tessa Thompson, British boxer Tony Bellew as 'Pretty' Ricky Conlan, and the 'Cosby Show' star Phylicia Rashad.

It's due out in November in the US. There's no UK date confirmed as yet.
