For a sec I misread that as 'Brendan Fraser lands Brendon Fraser as its main villian'
pennypoohbear
He never left. People deserted him because he made a stand about someone who abused him. I hope the movie is a Blockbuster
NPaine
Fun fact - the real villain was his ex wife all along
MelfsAcidArrow
He is wonderful in Doom Patrol
numbonvalium
It is shame they squandered Birds of Prey on a shitty Harley Quinn vehicle, a dedicated movie/series on Oracle/Batgirl has potential.
iliveinwhalesvigina
I will watch every movie he is in!
MarkSoupial
Doom Patrol as the villain?
StorytellingSalem
This is the power of the internet yo
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
Lol he'll be fighting Batgirl and I'll be like, kinda hope he wins, sorry Batsy.
AltMelodium
I sincerely hope this will be better than the dreadful TV show.
FrickinLasers
He's DC's Josh Brolin
EmCeeMiNacion
How long until he gets sunburn in the nether region?
livurz
Don't call it a comeback! He's been here for years!

NawaKam
Just make it a good film!!! We don't trust you after the second Wonder Woman.
geebee2639
Who could possibly root for Batgirl now ? Team Firefly!
getotterhere
sheeeiit
I'm glad that they phrased it like that. They are indeed fortunate they landed Fraser; not the other way around.
CharlesTooke
Hey, Brenden! Do you see how many Souls here on Imgur have faith in you? How man of us will never quit on you?
CharlesTooke
*many
transference
I like how it’s not “Brendan landed the role” but rather “the studio landed Brendan”
Denare
How is Linkavich Chomofsky from Estonia going to make Batgirl's life a living heck? I mean he seemed like a chill guy, if you ask me.
LucidPariah
ilhares
It took me a few years to realize that Eric Avari was the same dude (pictured) as the elder in Stargate (the movie).
JuliettEchoSierraSierra
I believe he's also the Curator at the Cairo museum in the Mummy ?
ifyouoralovedonehavebeendiagnosedwithmesotheliomayoumaybe
I'm rewatching Scrubs right now, and his role in the show always makes me tear up.
ilhares
You shouldn't cry, he's still the champion of Gay Chicken.
JessicasJonesing
His career is booming now. Im glad things are going well for him.
criticalma55
Which doesn’t matter as long as his bitch ex keeps taking all his money.
TheArrestingAbhorrentArrantAbominableAlliterator
It's a Bren-naissance!
EngorgedPhallus
I'm not convinced a DC movie is going to help his career, but hopefully it pays well and doesn't hinder it.
50m31AW
Henry Cavill became a big name bc of Superman, Gal Gadot did bc WW. The actors do a great job & it helps them. It's the other parts of 1/
50m31AW
the DC films that suck & can potentially hurt careers 2/2
Velv3tThunder
Booming is perhaps a strong word, but it's definitely coming along again
3dartwork
How is it booming? I am not recalling any movies other than this one which isn't exactly a sure hit blockbuster. Batgirl? Eh
sandwichmunchies
GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE IS ON DISNEY PLUS
pickleparty91
Encino man?
ThisGuyPostingThings
Much as I like Brendan and his old roles are iconic facets of my life, I feel like his newer roles have been...pretty minor and dull? 1/2
pickleparty91
Wheeze the juice
ThisGuyPostingThings
Even Robotman on Doom Patrol's gone too one-note (just seems to repeat the same stuff over and over). It's disappointing but not his fault.
Ezekiel117
Easing himself back in maybe?
ThisGuyPostingThings
I think it's more that he's mainly getting token roles, but also that the ones he used to excel in aren't exactly his wheelhouse anymore.
Oteneo
I can understand why everyone loves Brendan Fraser. I think he's a genuinely nice person and has endured some awful treatment. He was
Bibidibop
Is he playing himself as the villain because that would be some amazing nonsense I want to see.
NZCO
Like James Spader/Raymond Reddington
blackmetalcoyote
I like this idea.
miltownmadness
prodmerc
Damn, Alan Tudyk was in that movie? I forgot the name, but I remember liking it lol
TricksForDays
Came here to say this. Upvote for you
Phathongas
Too bad DC has had nothing but issues with batgirl
hendawg2020
They skipped over Batgirl in the show Titans, just like they kinda did Red Hood, but I assume cuz they didn't have a Joker to put on screen.
ThisGuyPostingThings
Are you thinking of the Batwoman TV series? This is unrelated, aside from being based on a DC character with "Bat" in their name.
anglarite
They have issues with every superhero, they usually release them once a month.

“Fuck” - Cliff whenever he talks
Shaows
He's going to be playing FireFly. Source: https://www.avclub.com/brendan-fraser-will-play-the-villain-in-hbo-maxs-batgir-1847932623
Asadsadsadclown
As long as he’s not Killing Joke Joker. I would prefer if he did not have scenes with Batgirl in that context.
LowBrowHighJinx
what's that? brendan fraser is going to be in the new season of Firefly?
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
Yeah that's my flavour of nerd and I was actually a bit excited, and then sad.
Haaavoc
Damn for a second there I thought of a Firefly series reboot.
HeHulk
Firefly* https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(DC_Comics)
numbonvalium
Nice to see some of lesser known animated series rogue gallery villians get bigger play. Was surprising seeing FireFly in an Arkham game.
hendawg2020
Wasn't that the female character in the show Gotham? Selina's friend.
Bigcurly2000
He was a pretty good villain from a gameplay point of view, not every baddie can be turned into a decent boss battle. Shame most of the 1/2
Bigcurly2000
Actual character portrayals were so undeveloped in Origins though.
secretdpp
If you haven't caught Titans S3. They do some wonders with Scarecrow. Firefly gonna be awesome
i2ocker89
I'm wondering if this is in the Batfleck universe or it's own universe
imjustheretocontradictop
Besides being the Flash, Batfleck universe is dead, as far as I know. They're treating them all independently now.
Shaows
It's based on the Year One series, so it's own universe.
znuff
Jesus fucking christ, DC. That's why people like Marvel movies more. Continuity.
50m31AW
Nah, DC is doing their stuff well in that regard. Joker? Fuckin' amazing, nothing to do with the other stuff. I also like the idea of 1/
50m31AW
having multiple continuities. Like let's see more of the Joker universe, without worrying about stomping on the other stuff. Don't get me 2/
DonutHolstein
DC tried continuity and failed. Stand alone films might appeal to people who don't want to feel like to need to watch 100 movies to keep up
Crimx42
Villain? He should be the hero
Dondarian
For me lately, a good movie is only as good as its villain.
Dashirl
He deserves to play a range of characters. Good for him. This will be fun.
RideTheStimutacs
I'm not going to be picky about it at this point.
Dpunch4
Super relatable riddler would be very interesting. Please be riddler
apeshigh
He already is, for me. I'll be rooting for him the whole movie
NinjasStoleMyMama
He’d make a great batgirl.
LyraTheLycan
Tbf I did read this as "Brendan Fraser, Batgirl Movie"
Hashbrown123
What are villains but misguided heroes.
gdex86
What's the quote? Something like "The devil gets all the best lines."
YuffieK
Alfred is the real hero
Poopoopeepeevagina
Sometimes, a good villain cane make a movie
Cranbananarama
Everyone loves a good villain.
periwinklehornet
Think about what Bane did for Tom Hardy.
LeSethX
I would be fine with a remake of the Mummy that has him starring at the mummy, as long as it's Brendon Fraser.
ToSisPoS
He has amazing rage. #BrendanAsBatgirl. Let’s do this!!
Psionickitten
What part of playing the villain excludes him from being the hero? It doesn't. He's always a hero in my eyes.
Hellstorm99
No no, he is a hero, but it is time. Shows his versatility
IsItawKWard
That’s right! He should be batgirl!
aerodynamit3
Compelling villains make or break super hero films. Arguably the most important casting decision.
NecroNikolai13
Main reason i like batman despite not being into super heroes, his villains are so delightfully insane and over the top
deanfault
He's the main hero in Doom patrol if you would like to see him as a superhero.
ihaveanouttie
Cliff is hillarious I’m finishing up season 3.
deanfault
Oh I love him in it. He cracks me up every episode!
MadCat221
Actors often say it's more fun to play the villain.
JodyBird
So long as you don't take it so seriously that it kills you
ThaWhiteRanger
As long as you don't get typecast. Tom Felton made it away from Malfoy, but others like Joffrey might not be as lucky
Staddi
Joffery wanted to quit/pause anyway and british actors are all very active in theatre in theUK, less typecasting there
StewedTomaters
I think it'd be almost impossible for Fraser to be typecast as a villain - everyone loves him.
StewedTomaters
That being said, not everyone is familiar with him (younger people). You may have a point.
50m31AW
Jack Gleeson (semi) retired after Joffrey. Now he mostly does indie theatre as an actor/producer
pickleparty91
There’s a difference between being sick a good actor the audience hates you and being such a hate-able actor you came get good work again
pickleparty91
Chrisoph waltz is a prime example on the opposing spectrum; great villain great actor!
