Universal Pictures has shifted the date for the fourth ‘The Mummy’ film, now set to rise from the tomb in October 2027!
Originally scheduled to release on May 19th, 2028, Universal’s The Mummy sequel starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz will now rise from the tomb on October 15th, 2027, reports Variety.
Casual reminder that the film has zero relation to Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, currently in theaters.
The fourth Mummy movie is directed by Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, Scream, V/H/S, Southbound) from a screenplay by David Coggeshall (The Family Plan, Orphan: First Kill).
I love the move to shift to the Halloween season. With Radio Silence involved, perhaps we’ll have a scarier Mummy on our hands than the last few sequels.
Fraser and Weisz both starred in the 1999 film The Mummy, which follows a treasure hunter who accidentally awakens a cursed Egyptian priest with supernatural powers. The two returned for its 2001 sequel, The Mummy Returns, while Weisz did not appear in the 2008 threequel The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
William Sherak, James Vanderbilt and Paul Neinstein are producing through Project X Entertainment. In addition to starring in the movie, Fraser will serve as an executive producer alongside Hivemind’s Jason F. Brown and Denis Stewart.
