Summary
- Brendan Fraser confirms his return to The Mummy franchise after 20 years.
- A new Mummy film is reportedly in the works with Fraser reprising his role.
- Fraser believes 'fun' was the missing element in the 2017 reboot.
Brendan Fraser has officially confirmed his return to The Mummy franchise, expressing that he has been anticipating this opportunity for two decades. The beloved actor, who portrayed Rick O'Connell, shared his excitement about finally giving fans the Mummy experience they desire.
Fraser also teased that a story he personally envisioned for the franchise, which never materialized, is now on the horizon. This news follows earlier reports indicating that The Mummy 4 is in development, with both Fraser and his co-star Rachel Weisz, who played Evelyn Carnahan, rumored to be returning.
Reflecting on the 2017 reboot, Fraser suggested that its failure stemmed from a lack of 'fun,' a key ingredient he felt was missing. He described the original Mummy films as a 'thrill ride' rather than a horror movie, suggesting the upcoming installment will aim to recapture that spirit.
