After nearly two decades, The Mummy franchise is set to return to the big screen with a fourth installment, bringing back fan-favourite duo Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz for another thrilling adventure. As announced by Universal Pictures, the film is scheduled for release on May 19, 2028. It will see the actors reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell and Evelyn Carnahan, rekindling nostalgia among longtime fans.
While specific plot
details for The Mummy 4 are still under wraps, the announcement alone has generated excitement, given the massive popularity of the earlier films. The franchise originally began in 1932 with Karl Freund’s The Mummy and went on to spawn multiple sequels and reboots over the decades. However, it was the 1999 remake starring Fraser and Weisz that created a distinct global fanbase with its blend of action, humour, and supernatural thrills.
