He’s actually not a bad fit.

I don't understand how anybody can think a TC franchise can just pick up with a different actor. The whole point of TC is the spectacle of it. It's the marketing of how he does his own stunts. Jumping off cliffs, climbing tall buildings, and I hear he's really going to film in space. Lol. The new guy isn't this crazy. The movie viewers will know it's now a tamed down version with the new lead. If I'm Glen Powell, of course I'm going to shut it down. TC franchises will cease when he's done. It's almost like trying to take over a Jackie Chan franchise. It can't be done, we know you're not Jackie Chan. That ain't you on top of a moving car, that's computer. Lol.

Tom Cruise could takeover a Jackie Chan franchise.

This summer, coming to a theater near you... It's Tom Cruise in.... Drunken Master 4. LOL!

Well said. Once TC hangs it up, there will never be another like him.
To the detriment of the movie industry.
