"The still-unconfirmed Mummy 4 would bring Fraser and Weisz back in their original roles as explorer-slash-treasure hunter Rick O'Connell and librarian Evelyn "Evy" Carnahan. Meanwhile, Radio Silence's Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will direct after helping reinvigorate the Scream franchise. David Coggeshall wrote the script, and plot details remain under wraps. The first movie, released in 1999, sees Rick and Evy meet and fall in love amid a wild adventure: Together, they must kill the power-hungry Egyptian priest she accidentally revived."
"It's unclear exactly why Weisz didn't return for the third Mummy film. In May 2005, she told IGN she was open to making another sequel. When asked about it, she responded, "Sure, get the family back together again. Why not?" There are conflicting reports as to why her role was later recast. Director Rob Cohen told Heat that Weisz took issue with her character being "too old" and having a 21-year-old child in the third movie, per Digital Spy in May 2008;"
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are reportedly in talks to return as Rick O'Connell and Evelyn "Evy" Carnahan for a potential fourth Mummy film. Radio Silence directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are attached to direct, with David Coggeshall credited as the screenwriter and plot details currently undisclosed. The first film from 1999 introduced Rick and Evy falling in love while battling a revived Egyptian priest; the 2001 sequel followed the married couple and their son. Rachel Weisz did not appear in the 2008 third entry, which recast her role with Maria Bello for the China-set adventure.
