Could the iconic cast of The Mummy (1999) reunite for another thrilling adventure? It’s a question that has fans buzzing with excitement—and for good reason. Last year, industry insider Daniel Richtman dropped a bombshell: Universal reportedly has not one, but three Mummy projects in the works, including a direct sequel to the beloved Brendan Fraser-led trilogy. But here’s where it gets controversial: while Fraser’s recent career resurgence, capped by his Oscar win for The Whale, has reignited hopes for his return, the fate of the franchise remains shrouded in mystery. And this is the part most people miss: plans for The Mummy: Rise of the Aztec were scrapped in favor of the ill-fated Dark Universe reboot, leaving fans wondering what could have been.
During a recent interview with JoBlo’s Tyler Nichols, The Mummy cast member Oded Fehr confirmed what many have been hoping for: the original stars would be thrilled to return for another sequel. Fehr’s enthusiasm was palpable: ‘If there’s a possibility it will make money, they’ll try and do it. Like you, I hope we get a chance to do this again. We all would be happy to do it again. Seeing everybody, it’s like, my God, I’d be the most blessed human being to work with these guys again.’ His words paint a picture of a cast still deeply connected, eager to reignite the magic of the original films.
The cast’s recent reunions have only fueled the flames of speculation. Earlier this year, Fraser and Fehr joined Patricia Velásquez and John Hannah at Fan Expo Denver, and they’re set to reunite again at Twin Cities Con in Minneapolis, alongside Corey Johnson. These gatherings serve as a reminder of the enduring chemistry that made the original films so unforgettable.
But let’s address the elephant in the room: would a fourth installment live up to the legacy of the first three films? Some fans argue that the franchise peaked with The Mummy Returns, while others believe a modern take could breathe new life into the series. What do you think? Would you welcome a return to the sands of Egypt with Fraser and the gang, or is it better to leave the past buried? Let’s spark a debate—share your thoughts in the comments below and tell us if you’d be first in line for The Mummy 4!
