Brendan Fraser Confirms ‘The Mummy 4’ Has Finally Started Filming
The sequel reunites Brendan Fraser with Rachel Weisz and other returning cast members as Universal targets an October 15, 2027 release.
This week, Brendan Fraser confirmed that The Mummy production has commenced in Britain, revealing the news while receiving the Deauville Talent Award at the Deauville Festival.
Several familiar faces are joining Fraser for the sequel, including Rachel Weisz as Evelyn Carnahan, John Hannah as Jonathan Carnahan, Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay, and Kevin as Beni Gabor.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are helming the project, with David Coggeshall writing the screenplay. Universal has scheduled the untitled The Mummy installment for October 15, 2027.
Fraser, now 57, acknowledged that returning to the physically demanding role of Rick requires a different approach to action sequences. He has waited two decades for this opportunity.
The return marks Fraser's first franchise chapter since 1999, with the actor describing the upcoming film as the The Mummy story he had always wanted to make.
