Fantasy Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz to return for new ‘Mummy’ film

[Zantera]

I don't think a 56 year old Brendan Fraser needs the physique of playing a superhero character. Just getting into good shape will sell the idea he really is an adventurer who is fit enough to "work" in that universe but if he looks like Chris Hemsworth's Thor you are asking yourself when he finds time to do pushups.

He wasn't in Chris Hemsworth-level of shape back in the first movie either.

You mean George of the Jungle shape lol

No, he was in Indiana Jones shape.

Raiders Indy, not Temple of Doom Indy.

With Radio Silence behind this I'm thinking this will probably lean on the horror elements more than any other movie in the series did.

It’s one of the reasons i’m so excited they are attached to direct this. I love how the first movie leaned hard into the horror elements and i was disappointed that the sequels completely lost that. I loved scream 5 and really enjoyed scream 6, and i have no doubt that radio silence will be able to bring back that perfect mix of horror/comedy/romance/adventure. So pumped for this.

The first movie had such a lightning in a bottle perfect tone to it. The mummy stuff was mostly treated as horror and you had scenes with the scarabs or someone lost in the pyramid (before getting killed by the mummy) that were intense and well done. But the 'Indiana Jones' stuff was treated more like a light hearted adventure and Brendan Fraser was great. You look at something more modern like Chris Pratt as Star Lord and I see a lot of Rick O'Connell in that. (though one could argue both have Harrison Ford to thank)

You just know Radio Silence is going to find a way to blow someone up, PG-13 rating be damned.
