Brendan Fraser Says ‘The Mummy 4’ is Not Happening Yet But Could

by

Fans of the popular franchise were thrilled to hear that a fourth movie might be in the works, with the actor potentially reprising his iconic role as Rick O’Connell. However, while the actor himself mentioned the possibility, it appears the news is more of a hopeful wish than a confirmed plan to continue the series.

In an interview with Deadline, Fraser was questioned about potentially reprising his role as Rick. His answer this time wasn’t as enthusiastic as it had been in previous conversations.

Look, at this stage, honestly, anything could happen. I’m just speculating here, and believe me, I’d love to share more details – I really would. But I’m sworn to secrecy for now, I’m afraid. I can tell you this though: there’s a dedicated group of fans out there who are really into this, and that’s exciting!

Look, it’s pretty obvious Brendan Fraser has a huge and incredibly devoted fanbase. I was at the recent fan convention, and honestly, the energy was electric – you could feel the love. A lot of them were practically begging for him to revisit the world of Egypt and do another adventure film. He then shared that…

I just got back from a fan convention in Minnesota where we signed autographs and met fans. We also did a Q&A session on stage for about 3000 people, and it felt amazing – like being a rockstar! I was so energized by the experience, I knew I’d be completely drained afterward. It was just a really positive and loving atmosphere.

‘The Mummy’ Franchise Has Been Through Some Rough Times


Universal

Although the first movie adaptation of The Mummy appeared a century ago, the film series has experienced both successes and failures. Brendan Fraser’s 1999 version is one of the most popular Mummy films ever made. While the third film in Fraser’s series wasn’t as well-received as the first two, the subsequent movies fared even worse.

The Mummy has seen many creative reimaginings since the days of Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee, including the quirky film Bubba Ho-Tep with Bruce Campbell. Universal tried to launch a shared universe of monster movies in 2017 with a big-budget action film starring Tom Cruise, but it didn’t catch on with audiences. This stalled interest in Mummy movies until Lee Cronin was brought on board to create a fresh, more terrifying take. Now, bringing back Brendan Fraser’s version could be a huge success, offering the nostalgia fans have been missing and potentially succeeding where other monster reboots have fallen short.

Although Brendan Fraser hasn’t officially confirmed his return as Rick O’Connell, the strong public excitement following news of a potential new movie could be enough to get the project approved.
