New set photos from the production of The Mummy 4 show Rachel Weisz in period costume as Evelyn O'Connell, according to images circulating from the shoot. The photos offer a first look at Weisz's return to the role she originated in the 1999 film.
Universal Pictures has moved the theatrical release of The Mummy 4 forward to October 15, 2027. The studio had originally scheduled the film for May 19, 2028.
Production on The Mummy 4 began on September 7. The film is directed by Radio Silence, the team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who previously directed the 2019 horror hit Ready or Not. David Coggeshall wrote the script, with James Vanderbilt and Sean Daniel producing.
The Mummy 4 will serve as a direct sequel to the 1999 and 2001 films, ignoring the 2008 sequel. Weisz last played Evelyn O'Connell in the 2001 sequel The Mummy Returns. She did not appear in the 2008 film The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, where Maria Bello replaced her due to reported scheduling conflicts and family commitments. Weisz later denied rumors that she disliked the script for the 2008 film.
Brendan Fraser appeared at France's Deauville American Film Festival before production began. Comingsoon.net reported on the set photos and release date change.
