Fraser, Weisz to Reunite for Mummy 4 in 2028

Brendan Fraser confirmed on Wednesday that he will reprise his role as Rick O'Connell in a fourth installment of The Mummy franchise, reuniting with Rachel Weisz as Evelyn Carnahan for Universal Pictures, with the film set for release on May 19, 2028.

Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 57-year-old Oscar winner shared details about the long-awaited sequel, which he described as a response to fan demand. "We're gonna get the band back together, the only way to do it," Fraser said. "So, we're going to give the audience what they have been bothering all of us for, for the last 20-whatever years." He hinted at returning to original filming locations, adding, "What we're gonna do is saddle back up, go back to the locations... I should probably stop talking like this, because I don't want to give everything away."

Fraser also addressed the physical demands of the role, noting his efforts to prepare at his age. "Please wish me luck. I'm doing my best to get this 57-year-old gear in shape," he told Fallon. To get into character, Fraser visited the Mummy ride at Universal Studios, sharing a photo from the experience with the audience.
