The Mummy: Book of the Dead
The fourth installment in the franchise. Plot TBA.
Why it matters
Universal Pictures continues the long‑running The Mummy franchise with its fourth installment, the first new entry since 2008’s Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
About The Mummy: Book of the Dead
Universal Pictures is bringing Rick and Evie O'Connell back to the screen in The Mummy: Book of the Dead, an adventure-fantasy picture that reunites Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as the globetrotting couple they last played together in 2001. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the horror directing pair who work as Radio Silence, are handling this one from a screenplay by David Coggeshall. John Hannah, Oded Fehr and Kevin J. O'Connor also return from the earlier films.
The movie opens on October 15, 2027, pulled forward by Universal from a slot it previously held in May 2028. Beyond the cast, the studio is saying almost nothing: there is no plot summary, and no actor has been announced for the mummy itself. Filming began in 2026, so the production is well ahead of that date. Treat it as a reunion first and a monster movie second, at least until a trailer suggests otherwise.
