It’s the season of The Mummy. First up, we have Lee Cronin’s The Mummy coming our way this year. But now, it seems The Mummy 4 is a go. After a lot of conversation around the idea, a fourth The Mummy movie with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz returning to the action is officially happening. The original The Mummy movie with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz is widely regarded as a classic (and many people’s queer awakening), but its sequels are a bit less beloved. Indeed, Weisz did not even perform in The Mummy 3, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Hopefully, The Mummy 4 will bring back the spirit that drew so many to the franchise to begin with. After all, Brendan Fraser has gone on the record saying that the idea for The Mummy 4 is “the one I wanted to make,” but never got to. Well, it looks like it’s all happening now. And here’s hoping it’s good.
As for when we could see The Mummy 4 with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, Variety reports that Universal Pictures has dated the movie for a wide theatrical release on May 19, 2028. Additionally, The Mummy 4 will be directed by Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and written by David Coggeshall.
Well, we’re not out. We’re in. It sounds like a good team in front of and behind the camera. And we’re always here for an exciting action-adventure romp, with some romance, and maybe a little horror. And nothing like a really good movie to wash away the taste of a few bad ones. We’d just like to ask The Mummy 4 to keep the flesh-diving sacarbs off our screens; they give us the heebie-jeebies.
We can’t wait to hear more about The Mummy 4 soon and see Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz back in action.
