First ‘The Mummy 4’ Set Photos Officially Reunite Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz
New set photos from *The Mummy: Book of the Dead* show Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz together, reuniting as Rick and Evie. Their return matters to fans because the pair’s chemistry has been central to the original films, and the fourth instalment will continue their family’s story.
The film has been shooting, with Fraser and Weisz previously seen on separate days; the latest images show them smiling together. Directed by Radio Silence and written by David Coggeshall, the sequel is expected to follow *The Mummy Returns* and omit the events of *Tomb of the Dragon Emperor*. It is scheduled to reach cinemas on 19 May 2028, nearly 30 years after the 1999 original.

The Mummy is an adventure film series that follows Rick O’Connell, played by Brendan Fraser, and Egyptologist Evelyn “Evie” Carnahan, played by Rachel Weisz. The 1999 original paired action and comedy with a story about an ancient Egyptian mummy brought back to life.
Fraser and Weisz starred together again in The Mummy Returns, which continued the couple’s story and introduced their son, Alex. A later film, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, had a different actor playing Evie and told a separate family adventure.
The new instalment is intended to continue from The Mummy Returns, leaving the later film’s events out of its storyline. Its focus on Rick and Evie’s family connects it to the earlier films, which helped establish the series’ central characters.
