In news that everyone will be happy to hear, Brendan Fraser’s career seems to be going from strength to strength with his return to Hollywood. While the cancellation of bat girl will have been a setback, where he was to play the role of the rogue Batman Firefly, his next release from The whale, and more pertinently, his performance there created quite a buzz on the film festival circuit.
Starring in Darren Aronofsky’s latest director’s version as a severely obese man trying to mend and salvage his relationship with his estranged daughter played by Sadie Sink, from stranger things celebrity.
“A reclusive English teacher living with severe obesity tries to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption.”
Accustomed to hard-hitting content, Aronofsky hopes this will be better received than his last outing some five years ago in Mother! Released by A24, it’s a fair cry to expect the weird and the wonderful from the film, with the director and studio both known for putting in experimental and risky efforts over the paint-by-numbers efforts of others. directors and studios.
Brendan Fraser was up, then down, now going up
Many will remember Fraser from their youth when he starred in countless films fondly, including The Mummy trilogy – even if less is said about the third, the better -, Man of Encino, Tarzan, and much more. He seemed to be settled in Hollywood for many years before disappearing.

Retreating from the public eye and with his acting credits drying up, many thought we’d seen the end of Brendan Fraser on our big screens. Citing distasteful and utter illegal treatment by studio executives, following which his mental health took a nosedive, Fraser himself said he was surprised by his comeback and was often emotional. by the outpouring of love and admiration from his fans.
That’s only going to increase, with news that he’s set to receive the TIFF Tribute Award for Performance, plus his recent casting and filming in Scorsese’s upcoming blockbuster. The Moonflower Slayers, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. The film is said to be the story of the Osage murders and tells the story of the birth of the modern FBI.
What’s next for Brendan Fraser?
As already mentioned, he has already signed and shot his next film in Scorsese’s Moonflower Slayers, so only time will tell what her next big movie role will be. It’s fair to say that he’s quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actors once again, probably both for his talent and for marketing “the forgotten man,” in any studio, as cynical as it may seem.

Fans have been clamoring for him to appear in the MCU, and comically most haven’t chosen him as a particular character, no, they want him to appear as himself. There are plenty of characters Fraser could fit into the MCU, but it would be understandable if the surrounding circus bat girl put a sour taste in your mouth when it comes to superhero movies.
Either way, I think a lot of people will be happy to see Fraser get the accolades and roles he deserves, and I hope we get a lot more screen roles.
