The 53-year-old actor stars as the villainous Firefly in the film, which is directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (from Bad Boys 4 Life).

The messages were captioned: “Yesterday was Brendan’s birthday AND the first day of filming for batgirl !!! Happy Birthday freroooo !!!” and “Yesterday was legendary Brendan Fraser’s birthday and his first day on the set of #BATGIRL! It’s gonna be EPIC”.
We reported last week that filming for the superhero movie is now underway, which sees Glasgow return to Gotham City behind the scenes of The Flash and The Batman that took place in the city.
The next DC movie will see Leslie Grace (In the heights) stars as Batgirl, Gotham’s young vigilante, whom comic book fans will know is the daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner Jim Gordon, Barbara.
JK Simmons (Whiplash) will also reprise his role as Commissioner Gordon in the film – a role he previously performed in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
