Universal Sets The Mummy: Book of the Dead for 2028
Radio Silence will direct the fourth Brendan Fraser-era Mummy film, written by David Coggeshall, Universal announced.
Universal has announced a fourth film in the Brendan Fraser-led Mummy series, titled The Mummy: Book of the Dead, with a 2028 release planned, according to Collider.
Radio Silence, the filmmaking collective behind the 2024 film Abigail, is set to direct. David Coggeshall, who wrote Orphan: First Kill, wrote the script.
The new film will pick up after The Mummy and The Mummy Returns and disregard The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
The original The Mummy came to screens in 1999. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor followed in 2008 and was the lowest-grossing and most poorly reviewed of the three films; it did not feature Rachel Weisz.
Fraser, who starred opposite Rachel Weisz and John Hannah in the earlier films, returned to screens in The Whale a couple of years before this announcement.
