The Mummy 4 is underway: Rachel Weisz return rumors grow

The Mummy 4, a new sequel to the 1999 adventure-horror run, went into production in September 2026. Brendan Fraser is back as Rick O’Connell, Rachel Weisz is back as Evelyn Carnahan, and Fraser has already confirmed that the movie is officially underway.

What has people talking most, though, is Weisz’s return. New photos making the rounds online seem to show her in costume, in the same old-school adventure look as the earlier movies. Some supposed Brendan Fraser shots, on the other hand, have already been picked apart by fan communities and labeled likely fake. So far, nobody involved with the film has said which leaks are real and which aren’t.

Story details haven’t been made public yet. There’s no synopsis, no word on the rest of the cast, and not much else to go on at the moment. Right now, the story is really the O’Connells coming back, the question mark hanging over the set photos, and a sequel that seems to be aiming for the same mix of action, humor, and supernatural chaos that made the 1999 series such a hit.

If you’ve been waiting years to see Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz reunite, this one’s worth keeping an eye on. The Mummy 4 is currently set for theaters on October 15, 2027, if that date sticks, with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett directing, David Coggeshall writing, and the franchise coming back after earning roughly $1.8 billion worldwide.
