Witness Me Attempt To Write Up 53 Things Miles Teller Would Rather Be Doing Than Appearing In The New Trailer For Divergent Sequel Allegiant

Guess what's getting a sequel in March? Insurgent, one of my most least favorite movies of 2015. The new trailer for its follow-up, Allegiant, doesn't look painfully bad, but then again, neither did the trailers for Insurgent and oh God, I know how that one turned out. Everyone looks so uninterested in being in these things, from lead actor Shailene Woodley to direct Robert Schwentke (I had such high hopes for him after his super fun debut film Red, but R.I.P.D. and Insurgent have erased all my hopes).



But no one looks more bored than Miles Teller, an actor who just can't seem to catch a break with his forays into franchise filmmaking. This guy turned in excellent performances in modern classics like The Spectacular Now and Whiplash, but good luck finding him giving any semblance of a damn in Insurgent and this Allegiant trailer, which you can watch below.
Y'know what? Why don't we just do something silly (it is Friday after all) and instead of discussing the middling nature of this trailer (though I do wanna note how the ships look like the spacecraft from Oblivion and Prometheus had a baby), let's just talk about the 53 things Miles Teller wishes he was doing instead of appearing in these Divergent films.

First off...he'd likely rather be berated by J.K. Simmons for all of eternity.
