Overview
- Negotiations are ongoing and neither Universal Pictures nor the actors have issued official confirmation.
- Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of Radio Silence are attached to direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.
- David Coggeshall is reported to have written the screenplay, with producing duties for Sean Daniel and Project X partners William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein.
- The project is described as a sequel that would bypass the events of 2008’s The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor rather than a reboot.
- Coverage says the aim is to recapture the adventurous tone of the 1999–2001 films after later misfires, with no production start or release timeline reported.
