Brendan Fraser Gets Back ‘Into Character’ for The Mummy 4 in New Photo
Brendan Fraser is stepping back into one of his most iconic roles, and a new behind-the-scenes moment has fans talking. A recent photo hints at how seriously he’s preparing for his big return.
Brendan Fraser enjoys Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride with Radio Silence
Fraser was recently spotted at Universal Studios Hollywood, taking on the Revenge of the Mummy ride alongside directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, known together as Radio Silence. The visit wasn’t just for fun. It was tied to his preparation for The Mummy 4, with a viral image captioned, “Getting back into character!”
The ride, inspired by the earlier films, gave Fraser a playful way to reconnect with the world of Rick O’Connell. The photo, dated April 8, 2026, comes just months before filming begins in August, suggesting the team is already building momentum.
The new sequel is set to hit theatres on May 19, 2028, almost 20 years after The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. This time, it’s bringing back familiar faces like Rachel Weisz and John Hannah. The idea is to bring back the same chemistry and tone that made the first two movies so popular.
The story is expected to skip over the third film and continue directly from the earlier parts. Since a lot of time has passed, the movie will likely show Rick and Evelyn later in life, while still keeping the mix of adventure, humor, and supernatural elements that fans love.
Brendan Fraser coming back also feels like another big step in his career revival. After being away from major roles for a while, he made a strong comeback and even won an Oscar for The Whale in 2023.
That moment really put him back in the spotlight as a leading actor. Earlier in his career, Fraser became a global star with action-adventure hits like The Mummy films, along with movies like George of the Jungle.
