Explaining ‘The Mummy’ Universe – Where the Latest Brendan Fraser Entry Falls in It

Universal’s Brendan Fraser-led The Mummy franchise is about to get a resurrection.

Fraser, who played Rick O’Connell in the first three Stephen Sommers-universe Mummy films, and Rachel Weisz, who portrayed love interest Evelyn in the first two entries, are in talks to star in a potential fourth installment.

Filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of Radio Silence are set to direct the project. Best known for their darkly comedic horror hits Ready or Not and the recent Scream installments, the duo is expected to inject both scares and sharp humor into the franchise.
