Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser are returning for a brand new The Mummy movie! It’s always a good day when your favorite cast members reunite on a fan favorite franchise, and everyone is losing their minds over the new announcement. The last time we saw Brendan Fraser as Rick O’Connell, it was in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008. Tom Cruise attempted to revive the franchise in 2017, but while the remake flopped at the box office, it’s safe to say this new sequel is off to a very good start.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new The Mummy movie with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.
Is there going to be a Mummy 4?
Yes, a brand new Mummy sequel was just announced on November 4. Radio Silence (AKA Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) will direct the movie. The duo recently worked their reboot magic with Scream 5 and 6, so I trust these two to do the OG Mummy movies justice.
Sean Daniel will produce alongside William Sherak, James Vanderbilt and Paul Neinstein.
Is The Mummy 2026 a remake?

It looks like the new Mummy movie will be a continuation of the story we were introduced to in 1999. The original plot follows desert explorers in the 1920s and end up unleashing the wrath of a 3,000-year-old Egyptian priest. But the most memorable part of the film? The chemistry between Brendan Fraser as Rick O’Connell and Rachel Weisz as Evelyn Carnahan.
