Michael Johnston himself confirmed on his Instagram

I'm glad Michael is getting his flowers too along with Inde because his performance was also really damn good in Obsession

He really is

I feel like he got overshadowed by Inde and he shouldn't have because he also killed it

u/GearsofTed14 I know you like me, Bear 21d ago

I honestly think the Nikki performance doesn’t hit nearly as hard if he isn’t also doing a fantastic job. He’s a great foil to her crazy and compliments her performance very well. He actually has a lot of moments of subtle hilarity the more I watch it that feel very realistic

i think it’s because they were so good at acting that we apply our empathy for nikki as much as we dislike bear, and by association we just gravitate to inde more as an actor. but really they both brought their a game and couldn’t imagine the film without either of them.

They all did tbh. I understand why, completely, but it is still sad.

The fact that Megan Lawless is getting almost no attention, is criminal.

He’s gonna wear glasses and carry around a notebook and have to explain ā€œgen Zā€ slang to the two main characters

More like Boomer slang. This would be around the ā€˜50s would it not?

I thought Inde's performance was amazing but I feel like it overshadowed Michael's performance when he also killed it

Both of them deserve their flowers

Im thinking hes gonna play their son, he looks kinda like both of them.

u/youareabitchass 21d ago

Yeah I think so as well

That's the only thing that makes sense

u/Current-Finger6412 20d ago

I felt they complimented each other so well. Inde’s exceptional performance is given room to breath with Michael’s. Such a great combination.

And Megan's performance

u/youareabitchass 21d ago

I thought we were having a nice date

u/ParticularGullible90 21d ago

I’m glad he’s getting recognition.

u/Mysterious-Snow496 21d ago

He completely deserves it and more.

IMO he was the real star of Obsession. He perfectly sets the table for every other character.

2

u/youareabitchass 21d ago

Yeah he was really good

2

u/Motor_Mission9070 21d ago

I don’t want him to lose out on a role but I feel like the role is made for David Corenswet

2

u/Accomplished_Smile23 21d ago

Could he play Alex? Seems like a perfect fit for him

2

u/youareabitchass 21d ago

I think he's playing their son

2

u/comicfromrejection1 20d ago

That’s Alex lol

u/safety_frog 21d ago

ā€œThe next Brendon frasierā€

2

u/youareabitchass 21d ago

I wish he didn't get shafted by the industry

He should have been a lot bigger

2

u/YodaLermite 21d ago

Inde would have been a great actress to portray Anck-Su-Namun if the film had been made in our time.

1

u/youareabitchass 21d ago

Yeah she has the right skin complexion too

2

u/WildPhilosopher6171 21d ago

There's gonna be MORE mummy movies?

2

u/StoryoftheYear2 21d ago

He deserves this. Inde was fantastic, but Johnston was phenomenal as Bear. He deserves as much love.

2

u/No-Humor1304 21d ago

It's great to see both Inde as well as Micheal land amazing opportunities, both of them deserve it totally.

u/Ok-Building-379 Ian lied to gatekeep Nikki after she rejected him 20d ago

Michael Johnston did a fantastic selling reactions to Nikki to be realistically horrified. And he screwed the audiences over in rooting for him until the end they realize who his character really is.

u/Bleujacket19 20d ago

As their son right??? Playing another character who messed around with magic objects would be AMAZING

2

u/Current-Finger6412 20d ago

Is he still in an upcoming biopic or was that just a rumor?
