Geriatric sequels are nothing new. Stallone (Rocky/Rambo), Swarzanegger (phonetically spelled, it's the best I can do. ) in Terminator [whatever number they're up to now], ..
At least Bruce Willis has stopped doing the crappy Die Hard sequels, I think.
If they're so 'invested in the character' maybe they should have done the movies when they had the bodies to pull it off. May as well use that fancy de-aging (e.g. Fury in Captain America) for something more plausible than a 70 odd year old (in appearance if not age) going toe-to-toe with yoofs.
Maybe the younger generation actors are just too bland and one dimensional, so they prefer to wheel out the old fogies. At least they have screen presence aka charisma.
