The cancellation of “Batgirl” and then “Doom Patrol” left Brendan Fraser free to appear in new superhero productions, although fans now prefer that he not return to DC and rather take a role with Marvel.
In “Batgirl,” Fraser played Batman comic book villain Firefly, though fans will never get to see his performance.
While in the already canceled series ‘Doom Patrol’ (2019-2023), its protagonist ‘The Mummy’ (available on ViX+) He voiced Robotman and was on screen in flashbacks when Cliff Steele appears.
After coming over from DC and feeling like he was one of the mistreated actors, fans suggested he join the MCU and there are several characters he would be a perfect fit for.
Brendan Fraser as The Thing in ‘Fantastic Four’
Marvel has confirmed that they will be making a new ‘Fantastic Four’ movie and it is estimated to be released on February 14, 2025, although there is no word yet on the cast.
While there are rumors that Adam Driver would appear in the new “Fantastic Four” movie, for the role of Ben Grimm / The Thing (The Mole in Spanish), fans would like to see Brendan Fraser.
At 54 and after scorning his body in ‘The Mummy 3’, Brendan Fraser probably doesn’t want to play roles that require a lot of action scenes, so The Thing would be perfect for him.
Ben Grimm has a tough exterior, although he’s kind on the inside, so Fraser might as well add a touch of humor and sympathy, plus the character is a man of stone and should be done entirely with CGI.
Brendan Fraser as Chameleon in ‘Spider-Man 4’
The new villain in “Spider-Man 4” could be Ned, the one who was best friends with Peter Parker (Tom Holland) until the memory erasing spell cast by Doctor Strange.
However, there is a possibility that he is not the real Ned, but one of the classic comic book villains: Dmitry Anatoly Smerdyakov Kravinov, better known as Chameleon.
This villain is a master of disguise, originally using only masks and makeup, but modern versions of the character give him transforming powers similar to Mystique from the X-Men.
With this ability, the character would give Fraser the opportunity to perform without requiring more of his body, and in combat or danger scenes, his power of transformation would allow other actors to appear.
Brendan Fraser as Hyperion in the Marvel movies
Although Fraser has stated that he is not particularly interested in returning to a muscular body, with the help of CGI and muscle-embedded superhero suits, he could play the role of a hero.
Such is the case of Marcus Milton aka Hyperion, an alien raised by the government as a superhero in the Squadron Supreme team. Since Hyperion has ambiguous morals, he is seen as an evil version of Superman.
As reports suggest that ‘The Thunderbolts’ will feature Harrison Ford as Thunderbolt Ross and a being with Superman-like powers, it is believed that it could be Hyperion. That’s why fans are considering Fraser for the role.
- Brendan Fraser also stars in The movie “Risky Heist”, which is available for free on ViX.
Brendan Fraser could be the new Lizard in the MCU
It’s true that Dr. Curtis Connors appeared in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, but as the universe’s version of Andrew Garfield and since the MCU introduced the same characters with other actors, the villain The Lizard could appear again .
The choice of this character is one of the most popular for Brendan Fraser to play on the big screen, as it is the most voted since 2016 in a Reddit question about what role would be suitable for the actor.
Like other characters on this list, Fraser could appear as he is when playing Dr. Connors and when he transforms into the giant lizard, he just puts his voice into it since the character will be CGI.
Brendan Fraser as Rick Jones would be associated with the Hulk and the MCU
One of the most important minor characters in Marvel comics yet to appear in the MCU is Rick Jones, a young friend of Bruce Banner who has been a companion to both the Hulk, Captain America and Captain Marvel.
Jones works closely with the Avengers and eventually gains Hulk-like powers, transforming into a giant blue creature known as A-Bomb.
Again, Fraser’s friendly personality would be perfect for this character who is friends with everyone and when he transforms into A-Bomb, using CGI Fraser would only have to provide his voice.
