Universal Pictures has brought forward the wide theatrical release of the new *Mummy* from 19 May 2028 to 15 October 2027. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz will reprise their leading roles as Rick and Evelyn O\u2019Connell, whilst the cast also includes Oded Fehr, Kevin J. O\u2019Connor and John Hannah. The date change has been confirmed by Variety.<\/p>\n
Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n Universal has rescheduled the release by around seven months. The studio has not publicly stated the reasons for the postponement. The new release date also differs from the traditional May release window for the first two films in the series: *The Mummy* was released in 1999, and *The Mummy Returns* in 2001.<\/p>\n The project does not yet have a full official name, so the media refer to it as \u00abThe Mummy 4<\/strong>\u00bb. The plot of the film is being kept under wraps.\".<\/p>\n Fraser will once again play the adventurer Rick O\u2019Connell, whilst Wise will play the archaeologist Evelyn O\u2019Connell. Oded Fehr will play the Medjai leader Ardeth Bay, who appeared in the first two instalments of the franchise.<\/p>\n Kevin J. O\u2019Connor will reprise his role as Benny Gabor, Rick O\u2019Connell\u2019s former comrade. It has not been revealed how the script will explain this character\u2019s appearance. John Hanna will once again play Jonathan Carnaghan, Evelyn\u2019s brother.<\/p>\n The new cast also includes Michael Johnston, known for the series *Obsession*, and Numan Akar from *Young Sherlock*. The updated cast has been confirmed by *Entertainment Weekly*.<\/p>\n The film was directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett from the production company Radio Silence. They previously worked on *I\u2019m Going to Look for You*, the 2022 *Scream*, *Scream 6* and *Abigail*. The screenplay was written by David Cogginshall.<\/p>\n Tyler Gillette described the upcoming film as a grand, beautiful and, at the same time, terrifying adventure. According to the directors, Fraser and Wise agreed to join the project after reading the script.<\/p>\n The new film will not be a sequel to the 2017 *Mummy* reboot starring Tom Cruise, but will continue the series that began with the 1999 film. Rachel Weisz did not appear in the third instalment \u2014 *The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor* \u2014; Evelyn was played by Maria Bello at the time.<\/p>\n The return of five actors from the earlier films reunites most of the original *The Mummy* cast more than two decades on. The official title and plot details of the new film have not yet been revealed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00abThe Mummy 4\u00bb will be a continuation of the film series starring Brendan Fraser, rather than a reboot of the 2017 film.
