After several years away from the film industry, Brendan Fraser is back in a big way in ‘The Whale’, the new film from Darren Aronofsky (‘Requiem for a Dream’, ‘Black Swan’) for which he is nominated for an Oscar. Now that Fraser is on everyone’s lips for his starring role in this film, fans of him are wondering if With his return to the industry, he will revive some of the sagas he starred in in the 90s and early 2000s.

One of those sagas in which the actor starred and which enjoys great popularity is “The Mummy”, where, accompanied by Rachel Weisz, he delves into various adventures related to ancient Egypt.

As if his simple return wasn’t exciting enough for the fandom, the actor says he would like the hypothetical new film to star one of the great actresses of the moment, Michelle Yeoh (“All at once everywhere”). Yeoh has already participated in this saga, especially in the third project, “The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”, where she plays the sorceress Zi Yuan. in the podcast The AwardedFraser responded to the possibility of filming “The Mummy 4” with Yeoh: “Sounds like fun. I’m always looking for a job. If someone has the right idea. I don’t think I’ve ever been so famous and never had so little money as now. So spread the word.”

But I’d be open to it if anyone has the right idea.” In that same interview, Fraser also shared his take on why ‘The Mummy’ starring Tom Cruise failed, believing a very important element of the saga was missing: “It’s hard to make a film like this. The ingredient we had in our mom that I hadn’t seen in that movie was funny. This was what was missing in this incarnation. It felt like a horror movie and ‘The Mummy’ is supposed to be a thrilling ride, but not terrifying or terrifying.”
