It’s been twenty-six years since Universal Pictures revived The Mummy as an action-adventure horror vehicle, but the love fans have for stars Brendan Fraser as Rick O’Connell and Rachel Weisz as Evelyn has only gotten stronger over the years. Even though the film was followed by two sequels that weren’t received quite as well, an adoration for the movies has endured, even outlasting the 2017 failed reboot by Tom Cruise. Now, news has broken that The Mummy franchise is officially coming back, and that Fraser and Weisz will return to the roles for a new adventure. Even better, though, is that’s just the start of the good news.
News of a fourth Mummy movie comes from Deadline, who not only confirmed that Fraser and Weisz are returning but that Sean Daniel will return as producer. Perhaps the most exciting detail about the news, beyond there being a new Mummy movie at all and Fraser/Weisz coming back to the franchise, is the team that will be behind the camera. According to the trade, the Radio Silence duo of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are set to direct the film, working from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill, The Deliverance).
This is a developing story, it will be updated.
