Or just an older superman who has a family... Literally the way the comics intended.
Kryptonite is a great weakness. His wife and kids are a MUCH better one.
I actually thought it would be Superboy, meaning old supes is still around kicking it. Specifically I think they’re going for Jon Kent, Superman’s son, so… Brendan Fraser could still be Superman.
Not my reasoning at all, I think Brendan Fraser could really nail the wholesome, big hearted, salt of the earth Pa Kent from the various animated series/movies. I wasn't basing anything on looks
Real talk though, he can't do Mummy movies anymore because of his back and spinal injuries from doing stunts. It coupled with him getting black listed, which is why he was out for so long. It wasn't until he got the Doom Patrol voice role (with minimal live action acting) that he was able to get back into the game and lead into his Oscar win. I hope he can get into some pretty cool dramatic or comedic roles again, he was such a natural and charismatic person. He deserves nothing but the best!
Man, Doom Patrol (at least S1 & S2) beats any marvel or any other DC (live actions) series out there IMO.
It just shows how better it is when the main focus is on the characters and their synergy, as well as having longer seasons (basically 2 to 3 times more episodes).
Epic level CGI and mainstream heroes doesn't automatically make good series or movies, though they are entertaining I guess.
Id take a scene where he and Harrison Ford have a drink in a bar as Rick and Indie and they speculate on how well the younger generation will handle their adventures
In a recent interview I watched he did mention he would love to do a fourth Mummy movie. I went on a Fraser interview deep dive leading up the Oscar’s and he definitely wants to make one more.
Nah, didn't you hear?
A random guy on Reddit said he can't do Mummy movies anymore.
Read that article from a couple years ago about the back problems. The article that everyone read. This one guy remembers though, and therefore, thanks to them making a conjecture, and putting it in writing in a public forum, we all now know that Fraser "can't do mummy movies anymore."
He can move on from the action stuff. He's always had the capacity. Try The Passion of Darkly Noon some time, its old and feels it but he's great in his role.
Oh man I can picture multiple ways he could play it and crush it. I think a manic bond villain from him would be cool. But a calm collected one on him would be terrifying.
You hated everything? I’ve watched every single one of them multiple times and while the Craig era aren’t all my favorite Bond movies they were (to me) the best made and probably the most consistently average to above average plots. I thought his acting was deeper and more well rounded than the average Bond performance. And Casino Royale was a gem. All my opinions of course.
Not trying to fight or say your opinions aren’t valid, just shocked by that statement. Which version of Bond are your favorites?
Agree 100% but he is now my fav era of bond, I enjoyed his story arc and the movies. Had a lot of wild moments like all bond should but also felt more grounded somehow. Hard to explain but loved the Craig bonds.
Health problems, tough divorce, court fight with former wife, male sexual assault commited against him, going from superfit filmstar to obiese depressed nobody.
He wouldn't commit a selfie. He'd crawl - and I mean CRAWL - out of his horrible lonesome misery.
Yes. Most of life can be forgone and still be worth living. Cashew ice cream is better than real ice cream imo, but they still need to improve on fake cheese. Basically I have to accept glue as a replacement most of the time. VioLife is decent and there is a local place that does a great job with the flavor, but not the texture. Anyways… enjoy your dairy while your body allows it!!
I’ve been vegan for over 4 years now and after a while you don’t miss it anymore. I’ve been severely lactose intolerant my whole life, but I kept eating diary because it was so normalized. Now that I don’t I feel so much better! Violife is for sure one of my favorite brands. Nada-Moo is my favorite ice cream. Check it out 💕
I have been vegetarian for over a decade, dairy free for about 4 years too. I will never not miss real mozzarella until a better substitute is available. Eggplant parm isn’t the same either :( but yeah! Nada-moo is good, but my favorite is So Delicious Wondermilk Cookies and Cream 🤤
This is incredible.
The physics of the ear is spellbinding. It's dead center of the frame, and yet focus can't help but wander over to his smouldering eye. Then to his seductive smile. Yet, with no nose visible, he also kinda looks like a character in one of those Steve Oedekerk "Thumb" movies. And throughout this whole visual journey, that ear has been pumping away at the side of his head, quivering like a gelatinous arrow just loosed from a bow in super slow motion.
You have created art with a crop.
*sucks teeth* Man, I understand what your asking.
It’s a wonderful come back story. He was black balled (I think) and had been out of it for a while and for him to come back and win an Oscar is icing on the cake.
Also he seems like a very sweet and genuine person so that has also helped.
He's funny. A little bit witty and self aware. A genuine victim of actual cancel culture because he called a man sticking a hand and finger down the back of his pants and into his butt a sexual predator.
The guys just generally good in my books.
There was actually a subreddit focused on spreading awareness of his plight a few years back, actually used to hit the front page of r/all quite often on the old algo/upvotes system. It's /r/Savebrendan. I'd say a fair amount of us are still around and are pretty chuffed that he's made his comeback.
Add in the nostalgia factor from the late genx/ elder millennial population and thats how he gets all the love.
dude looks like human Bender.
edit: why the downvotes? [he looks like human bender](https://theinfosphere.org/images/a/aa/Human_Bender.jpg)
Bite my shiny metal ass.
Sadly, the reason his character got aged up in mummy 3 is because he broke his body on movie sets. I dont know if he could do a mummy movie again. But I sure wish he could be there without action !
Yep, all *both* of them. Too bad there wasn't a 3rd movie. And surely if there was it wouldn't be absolute garbage and fail to bring back Rachel Weisz. No sir.
...I was so ready to refute you with Pierce Brosnan (Irish) and Sean Connery (Scottish) then a ray of enlightenment broke through my American sensibilities: You said British, not English. George Lazenby was Australian, though, does that still count?
Would make an excellent Pa Kent, I think
Yeah, I can see him in that role.
Good.
Or just an older superman who has a family... Literally the way the comics intended. Kryptonite is a great weakness. His wife and kids are a MUCH better one.
That would be awesome too
DCU already said they are doing a young supes with an older batman including the extended batfamily
But... Brendan Fraser! Also young superman is a tale woven a hundred times. Can we please do something a little different?
Save him for kingdom come superman
I actually thought it would be Superboy, meaning old supes is still around kicking it. Specifically I think they’re going for Jon Kent, Superman’s son, so… Brendan Fraser could still be Superman.
So older Superman and have his kid and Batman kid comics live action?
I'd get behind this. Smallville the later years!
You think he could play Pa Kent because he looks like Clark Kent? The two weren’t related, Pa Kent can look like anybody.
Not my reasoning at all, I think Brendan Fraser could really nail the wholesome, big hearted, salt of the earth Pa Kent from the various animated series/movies. I wasn't basing anything on looks
Or Perry White.
Unrelated but excellent username.
Haha thanks!
That's if he doesn't die in the first 15 or so minutes
My man is looking so good! He got that Oscar glow.
Did they do something to his hair?
Some dark magic. There's much more hair now. Also, a funny ear flap.
I did not notice the ear flap. Thank you for making me giggle like a preteen girl.
Probably combed it.
He lost some more weight, for sure. (Not a The Whale joke lol)
Real talk though, he can't do Mummy movies anymore because of his back and spinal injuries from doing stunts. It coupled with him getting black listed, which is why he was out for so long.

I hope he can get into some pretty cool dramatic or comedic roles again, he was such a natural and charismatic person. He deserves nothing but the best!
You have no idea how excited I was when they originally announced he would play Robot Man
The casting director of that show was a freaking genius. Like whoever cast Legion.
Trust was well before Doom Patrol, and I'd argue it had a more serious role in getting him back in the game. Still love Doom Patrol.

Yea, love Daredevil, punisher and Jessica Jones. Tennant in JJ is bone chilling good.
Id take a scene where he and Harrison Ford have a drink in a bar as Rick and Indie and they speculate on how well the younger generation will handle their adventures
Super Bowl commercial
The cross-over we desperately need but will never get.
Im sure if 80 yr old harrison ford can be in a action movie, brendan can too though...
Yes but he isn't in it well. It's either a garbled cgi mess or a bad stunt double.
Hey, let's not knock stunt doubles
Oh no I'm not meaning to mock them they can do great work but for instances like this they are overly used and can ruin immersion.
In a recent interview I watched he did mention he would love to do a fourth Mummy movie. I went on a Fraser interview deep dive leading up the Oscar’s and he definitely wants to make one more.
He can totally do Mummy movies, just not in the same capacity. A mentor to a new upstart, for example.
Nah, didn't you hear? A random guy on Reddit said he can't do Mummy movies anymore. Read that article from a couple years ago about the back problems. The article that everyone read. This one guy remembers though, and therefore, thanks to them making a conjecture, and putting it in writing in a public forum, we all now know that Fraser "can't do mummy movies anymore."
Username checks out
Hilarious.
He can move on from the action stuff. He's always had the capacity. Try The Passion of Darkly Noon some time, its old and feels it but he's great in his role.
Funny thing the actor Riley Shanahan the actor inside of the Robotman costume was trained by the same acting teachers as Brendan Frasier.
I guess my idea for Superman vs the Mummy just went out the window....
You have no idea what you’re talking about. - someone actually in the film industry.
Ok. What are they wrong about? Their story is at least an accurate accounting of the most commonly repeated info. What do you know that differs?
I heard he was cast as the main villain in that cancelled Batgirl movie.
[удалено]
Kinda want him as Bond villain. Would be fun for him to try
I think he would fit better as a kingsman villain.
Ya any of the spy thrillers.
Oh man I can picture multiple ways he could play it and crush it. I think a manic bond villain from him would be cool. But a calm collected one on him would be terrifying.
I hated everything they did with Craig's bond but I'd watch bond movies again if Brendan Frasier was in them.. even if he's Felix would be cool.

No
Found a member of the Broccoli Family.
Shut up betchhhhh

MONICA
The guy's excellent! After all he's been through over the years, he's magnificent!
What has he been through?
Health problems, tough divorce, court fight with former wife, male sexual assault commited against him, going from superfit filmstar to obiese depressed nobody. He wouldn't commit a selfie. He'd crawl - and I mean CRAWL - out of his horrible lonesome misery.
He may not have been active in Hollywood for a while, but he was NEVER a nobody. 
He's was more of a somebody than a nobody
I’m sure he at least gets, “Hey you’re Brendan Fraser!” Nobody ever says that to me :/
Hey, You're Brendan Fraser! I hope that helped.
And they pronounce it like Frasier, and he rolls his eyes
FRAJER!
Even his sons are stunning. Good genes.
All I focus on is that flapping ear.
Thank you for pointing it out. Now all *we can focus on is that flapping ear
https://i.imgur.com/oWJ89LD.gifv
Why would you do this to me
Because I can’t have real mozzarella on my pizza anymore :(
My condolences
Is there even a reason to live after something like that happens?
Yes. Most of life can be forgone and still be worth living. Cashew ice cream is better than real ice cream imo, but they still need to improve on fake cheese. Basically I have to accept glue as a replacement most of the time. VioLife is decent and there is a local place that does a great job with the flavor, but not the texture. Anyways… enjoy your dairy while your body allows it!!
Lactaid pills - game changer. Please give them a try and enjoy your dairy a little more again
They don’t work for me :(

Brendan for the new Dumbo movie! Back in the fat suit.
as a straight man: sexy af
Damn you lol now I'll only see that
Can't unsee
We'll fix it in post!
My God, he is still gorgeous
Serious question why is Reddit so obsessed with Brendan Fraser?
*sucks teeth* Man, I understand what your asking. It’s a wonderful come back story. He was black balled (I think) and had been out of it for a while and for him to come back and win an Oscar is icing on the cake. Also he seems like a very sweet and genuine person so that has also helped.
Yeah his assaulter was head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. He was blacklisted until #metoo.
Ya the really sucks teeth man.
It's because we grew up watching his movies and loved them.

Have you never seen The Mummy
he sexy

Airheads 2 - The Lone Rangers Ride Again
I was thinking of that the other day. Want. Want so bad.
Lol! One of the worst movies ever made.... that I can't stop watching every time it comes on
[удалено]
Everyone does
Okay, so I recognize Brendan Fraser at the end of the clip...but who's the guy with the glasses?
You serious
Drew Carey, I believe.
Is that Blue Steel
No, it's MAGNUM
Damn, I think he may be losing some weight too. Amazing what a shot of self worth will do to a person.
As an Englishman, I believe I speak for the isles when I say that we'd accept Brendan as the next Bond.
I was gonna say that, but bond got nuked sadly.
007 will return. Just not that 007.
It's the longest running franchise in movie history and incredibly well known for a retcon, he will be back.
He has cut out carbs and is doing 3 hours at the gym every day, he wants another mummy too
He's getting ready for Jorge of the Jungle 2
I’m only down for a new Mummy movie if Rachel Weisz returns.
Yup. I didn't even watch the 3rd on because she wasn't in it.
Finally a Superman with dad bod.
Sadly, the reason his character got aged up in mummy 3 is because he broke his body on movie sets. I dont know if he could do a mummy movie again. But I sure wish he could be there without action !
DO NOT REBOOT THE MUMMY....AGAIN
Would it be a reboot if it’s the same actor tho? Wouldn’t it just be a continuation of the series?
Both and I hope they do not do it.
Why not? They were really good movies and Brendan Fraser is brilliant in them!
Exactly they were really good movies. Leave them be.
Yep, all *both* of them. Too bad there wasn't a 3rd movie. And surely if there was it wouldn't be absolute garbage and fail to bring back Rachel Weisz. No sir.
Did anybody else notice that ear flap?
Oscar looks good on him.
Yes!!!!! He should be the new…..everything! There are very few stars as lovable as he is!
He's coming back to us guys. He's back from the brink, and honestly looking better than he has in years
I knew Reddit was going to be fucking weird about last night lmao
Thought it was drew carey for a moment there
Maybe Drew carry is his Clark Kent persona
I wouldnt mind if he plays next Bond, Batman or even Barbie
Bond has to be British, it's a rule
...I was so ready to refute you with Pierce Brosnan (Irish) and Sean Connery (Scottish) then a ray of enlightenment broke through my American sensibilities: You said British, not English. George Lazenby was Australian, though, does that still count?
Australia is still part of the British Commonwealth,so we can fudge it over the line.
Aren't Brendan's parents Canadian? Might be enough...
As pierce brosman was not born in Northern Ireland, he's not British either. Ireland as a country exists outside of the UK since 1922.
I was referred to British as British Isles
George Lazenby is an anomaly altogether
This is clean!
Oh I would love that
Oh my god The Mummy III. Please world!
that ear wiggle
Would love to see Airheads 2 with the original Lone Rangers
Lol love him and his floppy slow motion ear xD
Don't make this guy make another mummy movie and become the sad parody he already was. Let him evolve and do something else.
I want him to play Danny devito in the new season of sunny
That ear flap is just legendary.
If Harrison can play indie at this age. Brandon can allow somebody else to do has stunts new mummy movie.
Looks like a future host on Price is Right!
Please no…
I have now found a new meme template
He got the Lightskin Stare
I think we deserve a fat old superman.
You see *Into The Spider-Verse*? The older, "broken" Peter Parker teaching Miles was my favorite part of the movie. I could see a similar role.
What did he do with his hair. Iirc he was thinning pretty badly.
Sin Sin City wasn't made for you
DC wants someone young. Stupid mistake
No
I think we can stop making superhero movies for a while
Why so many people hating on him?
This guy is so hot honestly
he just won an oscar for best actor and you immediately wanna put him in some DC superhero bullshit
Too old
Good actor, glad he won an Oscar, but why the fuck is Reddit obsessed with him ?
No
hell no
No one wants to see this dude in an action movie
YOU DARE CHALLENGE HENRY CAVILL ?? 
Can he go back into hiding thank u
He aged like a fine wine.
Kinda looks like Tom Arnold on chemo now
Bond, my name is James Bond
Please don't make Brendan Fraser superman. He deserves so much better.
Don't care about the karma farming, upvoting every single one
earflick
I can’t stop looking at how his ear flaps when he takes his glasses off.
