"The Mummy": Sequel with Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser Planned

The horror classic "The Mummy" is set to be continued with directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. The duo had already successfully continued the horror series "Scream" with the installments "Scream 5" (2022) and "Scream 6" (2023).

The two "Mummy" films with Weisz and Fraser were a major box office hit at the time. The role of the treasure hunter Rick, who accidentally brings a terrifying mummy to life in 1920s Egypt, made Fraser an action star. He played the character once more in "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" (2008), but without Weisz, who at the time passed her role as the action archaeologist to Maria Bello.

The studio Universal Pictures revived "The Mummy" once more in 2017 with Tom Cruise, but this film received mostly poor reviews. Initially, nothing was known about the content of the planned sequel. Oscar winner Weisz ("The Constant Gardener") recently appeared in films such as "The Favourite" (2018) and "Black Widow" (2021). Fraser won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2023 for his lead role in Darren Aronofsky's drama "The Whale."
