The premiere of “The Whale” is approaching and many are already ready to see the return of Brendan Fraser on the big screen. However, many also remember his past, and with it, all the bad things that happened with ‘The Mummy 2’ where Dwayne Johnson appeared as the Scorpion King with bad special effects, of which the actor clarifies what happened .

In an interview for GQ, Brendan Fraser defended the effects of ‘the mummy 2’, which were the most criticized aspect of the film, thanks to Dwayne Johnson’s design looking pretty bad, even for the time. Despite this, the film was well received in theaters and today remains the highest-grossing release of Fraser’s entire career.

in speech, Brendan Fraser said he lacked time to refine ‘the mummy 2’ and its awful special effects and explains, “I know, I know. Be gentle! The guys who CGIed the Scorpion King, [los vi] at the premiere and they were like, ‘Hey, how are you? We made the CGI of the Scorpion King. Yes, we needed a little more time. It was last minute.

At that time, Brendan Fraser that Dwayne Johnson was just a “piece of tape on a piece of paper we were talking to”, and that she had never met the ‘Black Adam’ actor until the time of the premiere. Luckily for the production, the CGI didn’t affect the performance of the film, which was the biggest hit of the entire franchise.

Brendan Fraser is willing to return to ‘The Mummy’

In the past, the actor was willing to return to the franchise and now, once again, Brendan Fraser is expressing his excitement to return to ‘The Mummy’ in what could be a possible fourth film. “Absolutely. Do you have the script? Hell yeah, that was a lot of fun. Are you kidding?” the actor said, in conversation with GQ.

Even when Universal decided to start with its monster movie universe, Tom Cruise’s ‘The Mummy’ was a poorly received film by fans and box office. At the moment there are no details if they intend to continue with the saga, or make way for a possible fourth film that brings back Brendan Fraser as Rick O’Connell.

It should be remembered that ‘The Mummy’ and its three films were what caused some injuries, which turned into surgeries, which affected Brendan Fraser’s physique and hence, his appearance in the blockbusters of the time. ‘The Whale’ will be released next December.
