Will never compare to the original.

having people be safer seems pretty important too, but idk. it's probably more to match production back up with premieres for marvel/disney

as good as the original was, i'm really quite keen to see Mahershala in the role.

Yeah, I have very fond memories of the first one but at the same time it's been so long that I don't mind getting a new one.

I’ll think he’ll be great

Came in here to say the same thing! I am excited for mahershala ali, though i gotta say stephen dorff was great as the villain so i hope they find someone to top that.

can’t wait! the original is a classic but still an average script, so i’m glad they’re taking their time

I really hope they don’t water it down because of Disney.
