The actor just revealed who he will be playing in ‘Thor 4.’

But who is he playing?

Dueling guns? A Muhammad Ali plaster cast? Leonardo DiCaprio’s dinosaur bones? You can buy them all from Russell Crowe next month.

Tom Cruise’s The Mummy is the beginning of a new Dark Universe for Universal Studios, and as such is tasked with connecting this film to a bunch of other ones in the franchise. The Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Invisible Man, and a bunch of others will soon be hitting the big screen, all under the Dark Universe umbrella. So, what fits them all together? The plot device — I mean, the Prodigium, of course.

Every year, when the bottom drops out of the summer movie season and audiences decide to stay home and watch television instead, some well-meaning critic will publish an article asking if cinema is dead. And every year, I pose the same question in response: “Is Tom Cruise still an action star?” As long as Tom Cruise is running across multiplex screens — fighting rogue nations, government consiparcies, and even the occasional mummy — there is still hope for cinema. Then, when Cruise’s career is done and Hollywood is in ashes, then, cinema, you have my permission to die.

Russell Crowe recently installed a camera outside of his office in Australia because he wanted to get footage of...fruit bats? But what he got instead was pictures of a brightly-lit object flying across the sky.
