Universal Pictures has officially confirmed that Academy Award winners Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have closed deals to reprise their roles as Rick and Evelyn O'Connell in the upcoming sequel "The Mummy 4". The new installment will be directed by "Ready or Not" and "Scream" 5 & 6 helmers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and the release date has been set for May 19, 2028.
Plot details are being kept under wraps. The series includes the 1999 reboot of "The Mummy" and its sequels "The Mummy Returns" in 2001, and "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" in 2008. Weisz did not reprise her role for the third film and was replaced by Maria Bello. The trilogy has grossed a total of $1.2 billion at the box office globally. A spinoff starring Dwayne Johnson titled "The Scorpion King" was released in 2002 and grossed $180.6 million worldwide.
The fourth film's screenplay is penned by David Coggeshall ("The Family Plan", "Orphan: First Kill"). Franchise producer Sean Daniel also returns for the film. William Sherak, James Vanderbilt and Paul Neinstein also produce through Project X Entertainment. Fraser will serve as an executive producer alongside Hivemind's Jason F. Brown and Denis Stewart. Executive VP of production development Jay Polidoro and director of production development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project for the studio.
