‘The Mummy’ Icon Officially Confirms Return in Brendan Fraser’s Fourth Movie

Arnold Vosloo has confirmed he will reprise Imhotep in the fourth Brendan Fraser-led Mummy film, The Mummy: Book of the Dead. His return reunites several key cast members from the original films and brings back the franchise’s central antagonist.

Vosloo said he had signed his deal and expects to begin filming in November; he described a plot in which someone wakes Imhotep by reading from the Book of the Dead. Fraser, Rachel Weisz and John Hannah are also returning. The film is scheduled for release on 19 May 2028 and will continue the story after the first two films, setting aside 2008’s The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
