Overview
- Brendan Fraser said on The Tonight Show that a new sequel is in development, he is training to play Rick O’Connell again, and the team plans to revisit original filming locations.
- Rachel Weisz is expected to return as Evelyn Carnahan-O’Connell, and outlets including Variety report John Hannah is also back as Jonathan.
- Industry reports say the directing duo Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli‑Olpin and Tyler Gillett) will helm from a script by David Coggeshall.
- Release timing remains unclear, with Variety, WBAL and Radio Times pointing to Oct. 15, 2027, while Deadline lists May 19, 2028.
- Some coverage suggests the story may align with the first two films rather than the 2008 sequel, though the studio has not confirmed continuity, and Fraser’s focus on fitness reflects the franchise’s demanding stunt work that once took a physical toll on him.
