Brendan Fraser first took on the role of Rick O'Connell in back in 1999, and while he went on to star in two other films in the action-adventure franchise, he hasn't reprised the beloved character since 2008’s .

Now, nearly 15 years later, the 53-year-old actor is opening up about whether he'd ever revisit the role again.«I don’t know how it would work,” Fraser tells in an interview published Wednesday. “But I’d be open to it if someone came up with the right conceit.”When the franchise was rebooted in 2017, it was Tom Cruise who took on the challenge of playing the lead in the film.

However, the movie performed poorly at the box office — leading all plans for more films in the Dark Universe series to be canceled — and Fraser explains why he believes the reboot flopped.“It is hard to make that movie,” he says. “The ingredient that we had going for our, which I didn’t see in that film, was fun.

That was what was lacking in that incarnation. It was too much of a straight-ahead horror movie. should be a thrill ride, but not terrifying and scary.”  “I know how difficult it is to pull it off,” Fraser adds. “I tried to do it three times.”More recently, Fraser transformed into a 600-pound man for Darren Aronofsky's which landed him a six-minute standing ovation when it debuted at the 2022 Venice Film Festival last month.
