Wrap Me in Reynor

Florence Pugh (because she is very good, mind you!) has a tendency to swallow up her male co-stars' deserved attention. We saw it with Lady Macbeth and how long it took the world to cotton to her co-star in that, Cosmo Jarvis. And it seems to've happened again with Jack Reynor, Pugh's Midsommar leading man -- he ran around with his willy out (as did Cosmo actually) and for what? Bupkis for years, while she's off starring in Avengers movies. Feminism run amok! In all seriousness I think Jarvis and Reynor stood every bit her equal in those movies so I was very happy when Cosmo started getting attention thanks to Shogun, as I am very happy now to see that Reynor's booked a big leading man gig -- he is going to star in a new version of The Mummy for Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin. I don't think I mentioned it on here but I finally got around to seeing Wolf Man, the Christopher Abbott reboot of that Universal Monster, and I liked it way more than its reputation suggested? I loved its single night structure and I found the dissolving relationship of the family unit surprisingly moving! That movie got a bum rap. (Anyway it's on blu-ray now so you should give it a chance if you missed it.) And Cronin is maybe an even better director than Leigh Whannell -- Cronin's 2019 horror flick The Hole in the Ground is tremendously fine (here is my review). So I'm curious to see what they do with the Mummy mythology and I think Jack will look good covered in sand -- count me in! And since we're here I unearthed something of my own -- an attractive Jack Reynor photoshoot from 2022 that I apparently never posted. So hit the jump for it...
