Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz reportedly in talks for ‘The Mummy 4’ reunion

Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are reportedly in talks with movie executives to reunite for the next instalment of “The Mummy” franchise.

The news was reported online by entertainment site Deadline, which said it had learnt of the prospective movie from “multiple sources.”

While the plan has not been officially confirmed, the site reported that the next instalment will be written by David Coggeshall, whose previous credits include “The Family Plan” and “The Deliverance.”

Coggeshall appeared to confirm the news on social media, tweeting out the Deadline article with the comment: “Cat’s out of the bag, I guess :)”

Fraser and Weisz starred in the original, 1999 film “The Mummy.” The movie’s massive success gave a huge boost to the careers of the young actors, who are now in their mid-50s. Both have since gone on to win Oscars — Weisz in 2006 for her supporting role in “The Constant Gardener” and Fraser in 2023 for his performance in “The Whale.”
