Fraser and Weisz are reprising their roles as Rick and Evie O’Connell alongside a cast that includes John Hannah, Michael Johnston, Numan Acar, Kevin J. O’Connor and Oded Fehr. Plot details haven’t been revealed. As previously announced, Universal is releasing the movie in theaters on Oct. 15, 2027.
The actors first shared the screen in 1999’s blockbuster hit “The Mummy,” which follows a treasure hunter who accidentally awakens a cursed Egyptian priest with supernatural powers. A reboot of one of Universal’s classic creature features, the movie spawned two sequels, 2001’s “The Mummy Returns” and 2008’s “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,” as well as the 2002 spinoff “The Scorpion King” with Dwayne Johnson. While Fraser starred in both “The Mummy Returns” and “Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,” Weisz wasn’t in the third movie in the series.
Sean Daniel will produce the fourquel, having worked on the last five films in the franchise, including 2017’s reboot with Tom Cruise. (That attempt to revive the property was a critical and commercial disaster, effectively ending the studio’s ambitions to craft an interconnected Dark Universe.)
