While Brendan Fraser receives major recognition this season for his role in Darren Aronofsky’s film The whalethe fans are calling the actor’s current status in Hollywood his “Brennaissance.” As Fraser finds a resurgence in fame, we also have to wonder if the actor could return to one of his favorite roles, like Rick O’Connell from The Mummy. When asked recently, Fraser seemed interested, but the matter of Universal and their plans for their monsters remains the bigger question.
Fraser has been asked to reprise his role in the Universal franchise for years, even just a few months ago when he said he was “absolutely” taken with the idea before asking “do you have a script?” These are the actor’s last thoughts upon his return to The Mummy:
Wow, I don’t know any juicy details about this, but it’s been an open question for a while now. I am not against this. I don’t know an actor who doesn’t want a job. I don’t think I’ve ever been so famous and unpaid at the same time in my professional life, so sign me up. We all have to start somewhere.
while you talk to Term Fraser shared that he’s “not against” the idea and is ready to “sign up,” but one question remains: Does Universal even want to make another one? Mummy movie? I study tried to reboot the franchise in 2017 with Tom Cruise , and it was a huge failure. This film would be part of the beginning of the “dark universe ”, which would have been a cinematic universe for classic cinematic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man and The Wolf Man, but was abandoned.
Since then, it seems the studio has decided to go with the best ideas of rebooting its beloved monsters instead of building a connected universe. 2020 The invisible man has totally reinvented the character with a high horror concept, while Universal will also release a new version of Dracula called Renfield. the Renfield trailer went out Thursday morning to install Nicholas Hoult’s Renfield, who is desperately trying to get away from his toxic boss, Nicholas Cage’s Dracula.
Given the current method that Universal uses with its cinematic monsters and that Brendan Fraser is game, perhaps the door is open for another The Mummy movie? It all boiled down to someone writing the right script that would bring Rick O’Connell back all these years later. It has been nearly 15 years since Fraser’s last venture as a character, and Tomb of the Dragon Emperor received negative reviews and became the lowest-grossing film in the franchise.
Brendan Fraser can be asked all day if he’d be back, but the answer remains the same: It’s open, but Universal looks no further. Mummy movie. Either way, it’s nice to see Fraser doing more high-profile projects.
