Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz in Talks to Reunite for New Mummy Sequel

Sources describe a legacy continuation that skips the 2008 entry, with deals still being negotiated.

Overview

  • Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are attached to direct from a screenplay by David Coggeshall.
  • Franchise veteran Sean Daniel will produce alongside Project X Entertainment’s William Sherak, James Vanderbilt and Paul Neinstein.
  • Universal representatives declined to comment, and no plot details, casting beyond the leads in talks, or release date have been announced.
  • Reporting indicates the project is intended as a direct sequel to the first two films and would disregard The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
  • Trade coverage notes other Mummy-related projects have been in development, suggesting separate tracks could continue as negotiations progress.
