Brendan Fraser Gears Up for The Mummy 4, Teasing a Reunion with Old Cast

Brendan Fraser says he’s training hard to return as Rick O’Connell in The Mummy 4, which is slated for a October 15, 2027 release. He chatted with Jimmy Fallon about reassembling the band — reuniting with Rachel Weisz and John Hannah for the long-awaited sequel — and noted his first action role in years as he works to get in shape at 57. Weisz, who played Evelyn in the first two films, is set to reprise her role, with John Hannah also back, following the franchise’s weaker 2008 installment Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

Cronin Debunks The Mummy Rumors and Explains How Test Screens Shaped Its Ending

Lee Cronin explains that Brendan Fraser isn’t in his The Mummy and that rumors James Wan walked out of a test screening are false; the title never shifted from Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, and test screenings led to a more crowd-pleasing ending with a hopeful coda, plus a personal wake scene. He also discusses UK poster controversy and says he plans to pursue more ghost-story projects after finishing The Mummy.

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy: A Brutal, Personal Reimagining with the Director’s Name in the Title
