The Mummy 4 Now Officially Titled The Mummy: Book of the Dead
The Mummy: Book of the Dead is the official title of the next movie in Brendan Fraser’s beloved action-adventure film franchise.
Universal Pictures has officially announced that the next film in Brendan Fraser's beloved Mummy franchise will be titled The Mummy: Book of the Dead. The release date of October 15, 2027, remains unchanged, keeping the movie on track for theaters next year. Returning as the star-crossed lovers Rick and Evie O’Connell are Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, alongside the ensemble cast of John Hannah, Michael Johnston, Numan Acar, Kevin J. O’Connor, and Oded Fehr.
Fehr made a surprise appearance as Ardeth Bay on Instagram in August, while fans have seen Fraser and Weisz in full costume on set. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will direct, with David Coggeshall writing the screenplay. Sean Daniel is set to produce, joining a long lineage of Mummy producers. With the return of Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay, many are speculating that Imhotep may once again be unleashed from the Book of the Dead, an ancient tome capable of bringing the dead back to life and summoning warriors.
The plot of The Mummy: Book of the Dead remains under wraps, but the return of the Book and Fehr's character suggest a return to the series' origins.
