EXCLUSIVE: Brendan Fraser is set to join Leslie Grace in Warner Bros and DC Films’ Batgirl. Although not confirmed, sources believe Fraser would play the supervillain Firefly in the pic. Jacob Scipio also recently joined the cast, with Grace on board to play Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl. Bad Boys for Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are helming.

The film will bow on HBO Max, marking one of the first major DC properties to debut exclusively on the streamer. Christina Hodson penned the script with Kristin Burr producing.

Fraser, the former Mummy star, has had quite the resurgence in 2021 that began with landing the lead role in Darren Aronofsky’s next film The Whale. After wrapping production on that, Martin Scorsese cast him for a key role in his next film Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. He was also recently seen in Steven Soderbergh’s No Sudden Move.


JK Simmons is also back as commissioner Gordon

Good for him

I say this as “ the mummy” is absolutely on my Mount Rushmore of Rewatchable movies

There was a touching moment earlier this year where Fraser did a random Q and A on Instagram or something promoting his role in new Scorsese movie

A random chick didn’t really ask a question, but instead was complimenting Fraser and said the internet was rooting for him and it absolutely touched his heart. He got super choked up.

Firefly as the villain and a non-redhead Batgirl. No thanks.

How can he play a villain when he’s the robot dude in that other DC show.

WOW. They're calling her Batgirl. The backlash for that should be interesting.

Shocked that a modern movie would have a white man as the villain

Batman/woman. The story of a man who identifies as a woman, but also identifies as a bat.

Its all about continuity.

At this point, I don’t think DC understands the definition of that word.

I just don't see Fraser as a comic movie villain, unless it's a comedic one with cheesy villains, like Kick arse or the horrible 90's Batman sequels. Throw in intersectional Batman and this movie officially has zero appeal.

But, that's become par for the course for DC/Warner.

Well, he gets beat by a girl so I think it's assumed he is a comically bad villain.

Can’t imagine Bat Girl being a goodDC movie, but I’m always here for Brendan Fraser.

Big fan. Underestimated range.

His guest spots on Scrubs were amazing.

Who's playing Batgirl?

Let me guess.... Either a Latin girl or a black chick?
