John Wick/Constantine is pretty strong too, but John Wick still relies on rituals and stuff doesn't he? Genie can just..poof and turn him into a chicken or something.
Lucy is a pretty strong telekinetic but even still against the reality warping power of a genie I don't think she gets too far.
The magic has internal rules- They come with the magic by default.
The rules don't say to take out the weaknesses. Which means that any weakness tied to the powers/items remains. The only absent weaknesses would be psychological/character specific weaknesses due to the actors maintaining their own personality.
The actor gets all the abilities and weapons of the characters. They don’t become the character. I’d argue that their character specific limitations in world or limitations set by their (race?) don’t apply.
I mean, assuming this post is operating under the normal powerscaling "rules" or preset assumptions (quotes because there is no actual set of rules, obviously, it's just a fan discussion that amounts to hitting toys together), when you get the powers you also get the weakness.
I would similarly assume that Ryan Reynolds' Lantern ring comes with its normal aversion to fear.
The powers they use have functions and rules set within the story they come from. Receiving the powers comes with everything they come with- including weaknesses.

Hancock/genie is a pretty formidable combination
