Brendan Fraser has reached the most difficult challenge of maturity: getting fit. "I'm going to get this 57-year-old body in shape"

I am 42 years old, and getting in shape is more of an impossible dream than a reality. Between work, family, hobbies, and (not to deny it) wasting time doing infinite scrolling on Instagram and TikTok, who has time to catch up on building muscles? Well, it seems that Brendan Fraser does want to show us up, because at 57 years old he is getting buff… among other things, because he is getting paid for it.

I’m 42 years old, and getting in shape is more of an impossible dream than a reality. Between work, family, hobbies, and (let’s not deny it) wasting time endlessly scrolling through Instagram and TikTok, who has time to catch up on building muscles? Well, it seems that Brendan Fraser really wants to show us up, because at 57 years old, he is getting buff… among other things, because he gets paid for it.

What a mummy you are made of

The actor is already preparing for The Mummy 4, that movie they swore they would never make, then yes, then maybe, and now they finally promise it will delight the fans. The only problem is that Fraser is closer to retirement than to college, no matter how much he wants to take advantage and get in shape thanks to the good money from Hollywood. Frankly? I would too.

“What we are going to do is prepare ourselves, go back to the locations… I probably should stop talking about this because I don’t want to give everything away“, he confessed, while everyone at home hopes it won’t be a cash grab like most late sequels, but that it will actually have something to tell. In other words, that it will be like The Mummy Returns and not like The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Ew.

Come on, the actor has gone from being The Whale to becoming a sexy treasure hunter in a flash, or at least that’s what he hopes will happen: “Wish me luck, I’m doing everything I can to get this 57-year-old body in shape. As someone who already goes “ouch” when getting up from the sofa, I can only wish you all the luck in the world, Brendan.

Fans of Mummy will be delighted to see Rachel Weisz and Brendan Fraser return to their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell and Evelyn Carnahan in Mummy 4.

This long-anticipated return, which has been the subject of speculation for years, was confirmed by directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, known as Radio Silence.

Whose tomb?

The fourth installment of the saga, scheduled to premiere in U.S. theaters on May 19, 2028, will not take into account The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, a decision that has surprised some fans.

Bettinelli-Olpin made it clear that Weisz’s absence in the third film affected the perception of the movie, and with her return confirmed, the new film aims to revitalize the essence that made the saga famous. “The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is not canon for us,” the director stated.

The script, written by Dave Coggeshall, has been well received by both actors, which played a key role in their decision to participate in this new project.

Bettinelli-Olpin indicated that “I don’t think Brendan and Rachel would get involved unless they loved the script” and emphasized that both found the screenplay “beautiful, terrifying, and overwhelming.”

The Mummy saga began in 1999 with a huge box office success, followed by its sequel in 2001. However, the third installment, which premiered in 2008, received mixed reviews and although it achieved an acceptable performance at the box office, it failed to meet fan expectations.
