Brendan Fraser Returns as Rick O’Connell in The Mummy 4

Published 29 September 2026

New set photos from The Mummy 4 show Brendan Fraser filming in costume as adventurer Rick O’Connell beside a silver-and-red car in Suffolk, England, offering a first glimpse of the character’s return in the upcoming sequel. The film is scheduled for release in October 2027. The images show Fraser wearing a jacket and helmet near the vehicle during filming at a former military base. Some reports describe the car as rocket-shaped, while one points to visible air intakes and suggests it may be jet-propelled. Its design and presence on set are visible, but its function in the story and how it is powered have not been confirmed. Rachel Weisz is also reported to be filming as Evelyn Carnahan, the Egyptologist and adventurer she played in the first two films. One account says Weisz filmed a separate scene outside the British Museum in London. The available reports do not provide details about what either scene depicts or how the characters fit into the new story. The images have prompted speculation that O’Connell may be connected to a racing team, based on clothing bearing the name “Rick O’Connell Racing” and the car. That interpretation is not confirmed by plot information.
