Sign in to your ScreenRant account The Mummy has set a new release that will allow fans of the franchise to get ready for the next movie in the adventure series. Brendan Fraser's Rick O'Connell and Rachel Weisz's Evelyn O'Connell made a generation fall in love with their intense chemistry and the excellent mix of scary moments, action-packed set pieces, and humor of The Mummy movies. While there have been other mummy-focused movies since Fraser's The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was released in theaters back in 2008, including Tom Cruise's The Mummy, they did not manage to come near what Fraser's adventure franchise accomplished. Thanks to how Fraser's career has been revitalized in recent years, including a Best Actor Academy Award win for The Whale, The Mummy 4 was put into development. The project will bring back many stars from the original trilogy, with Weisz back as Evy despite the fact that the role had been recast for Tomb of the Dragon Emperor with Maria Bello. There are also exciting additions to the cast of the franchise, with Obsession star Michael Johnston joining The Mummy 4 in a mysterious role. Before The Mummy 4 arrives in theaters on October 15, 2027, there is an exciting release.
