8 Celebrity Icons Who Are Making an Epic Comeback (4 of 5)

Brendon Fraser

We all fondly remember the charming leading man whose smile melted hearts in The Mummy, but a large part of Brendon Fraser’s legacy featured the full decade of 2010–2020, in which he was nearly absent from the screen. But thanks to a transformative performance in The Whale, critics are raving, awards are buzzing, and audiences are rediscovering the depth and talent of an actor who never truly dimmed. This isn’t just a comeback; it’s a renaissance, a reminder that some stories get their most powerful chapters written later, fueled by resilience and raw talent.

Michael Keaton

Michael Keaton is not only making a grand return but he’s brought the cowl and a whole lot more. Sure, he dons the cape as the multiverse-hopping Dark Knight in The Flash, but it’s just the starting act. He’s also channeling Beetlejuice’s zany spirit in a long-awaited sequel (mark September 6, 2024, on your calendar!), proving he’s the king of resurrecting iconic roles with infectious swagger.
