Brendan Fraser reveals when new 'The Mummy' movie will begin filming

Brendan Fraser has been central to The Mummy franchise, and as the reboot is in the works, it is only fitting that he would reveal the latest update.

In an interview with the French television channel Canal+ at the American Film Festival, the actor said that filming for the new Mummy movie will begin tomorrow.

The last time Fraser appeared in a Mummy movie was in the year 2008, so his latest update would mark his return to the franchise almost two decades later.

Alongside him, other stars from the film series are also returning.

Rachel Weisz, for example, is also set to star as Evelyn Carnahan, marking her return as a pivotal character; in the previous installment, Maria Bello played the character.

Meanwhile, Kevin O’Connor, who played thief Beni Gabor, is another.

He previously shared in EW’s Mummy oral history, “I was doing There Will Be Blood with Daniel Day-Lewis, and one of the local town kids, he was looking for a skinny guy that played Ben."

“He pointed to Daniel Day-Lewis and said, ‘Was he the guy in The Mummy?’ [Laughs.] I said, ‘No, that was me.’”

The new Mummy movie is slated to release in cinemas on October 15, 2027.
