"On November 4, The Hollywood Reporter reported that it had heard from sources that Fraser and Weisz are currently in talks with Universal to return to the franchise that started back in 1999 with the blockbuster action-adventure movie The Mummy, an action-oriented remake of the studio's original 1930s horror movie. The outlet reports that Radio Silence is producing and directing the movie."
"Details on the new movie are still under wraps (get it?), but a source told The Hollywood Reporter that the yet-to-be-confirmed new Mummy movie isn't a reboot, but instead a sequel that would possibly "disregard" the events of the third film, which hit theaters in 2008, moved the franchise into China, and controversially recast Weisz's character. The outlet reports that David Coggeshall is behind the new Mummy's screenplay."
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are in talks with Universal to return to the Mummy franchise, potentially reuniting the stars of the 1999 and 2001 films. Radio Silence, the filmmaking duo behind Ready or Not and Scream VI, is producing and directing, with Sean Daniel attached as a producer and David Coggeshall credited for the screenplay. The project is described as a sequel rather than a reboot and may disregard the events of the 2008 third film, which shifted the setting to China and recast Weisz's character. Universal previously attempted a 2017 Tom Cruise reboot tied to the failed Dark Universe.
