On one hand, this is cool. On the other, can Brendan still do any action scenes at this point? I’m guessing there will be a younger cast and they are banking on them taking on the mantle for sequels. Fraser and Weisz will have supporting roles and will primarily be used to draw audiences.

    The action scenes were cool but really it was the setting and humorthat made the mummy for me. So long as he can still act I'm happy

    Beni: Hey, O'Connell! Looks to me like I've got all the horses.

    Rick: Hey, Beni! Looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river.

    You say this knowing full well that Harrison's still shambling out Indiana Jones flicks. 🤣

    late edit: also, each of them (Weisz & Fraser, not Ford) are genuinely pleasant, unpretentious heart-throbs. 🥹🥰 Hell, I'm willing to bet they both totally hang out w/ Keanu on the reg, by that merit alone.

    It’s not just the action scenes but Fraser was perfectly cast and played the role well as young “swashbuckler” or whatever you want to call that trope. Does he still fit that role? Will they write the role differently?

    Just because Harrison Ford could play “young swashbuckler adventurer” well past the age most of us retire, doesn’t mean anyone else can
