What Is The Mummy 4's Official Title?
Universal Pictures recently announced that The Mummy 4 has officially been titled The Mummy: Book of the Dead.
They also confirmed the film will be released in theaters on October 15, 2027, which is a year away from the day of the announcement.
This is exciting news for fans, since it is a definitive confirmation that the film is happening and it starts the hype for its release next year, which will be one of the biggest Halloween offerings of 2027.
Production started last month in London, and they are also expected to film scenes in Morocco. Set photos are already surfacing online, giving fans a taste of Fraser and Weisz's return.
The 1999 version of The Mummy drew inspiration from the 1932 classic. Although critical reactions were mixed, the film became a box-office hit. This success launched a trilogy, followed by The Mummy Returns and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
However, the franchise ground to a halt after Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Despite its massive budget, the third installment delivered lukewarm box-office numbers compared to its predecessors.
What to Expect in The Mummy: Book of the Dead
So far, the plot details regarding The Mummy: Book of the Dead are unknown, but it is expected to ignore the events of The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
Aside from Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, John Hannah is also returning to reprise the role of Jonathan Carnahan, Evelyn's brother. Arnold Vosloo, Kevin J. O'Connor, and Oded Fehr are also reprising their roles from previous films, while Michael Johnston and Numan Acar are joining the cast.
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of Radio Silence are directing the installment. David Coggeshall wrote the screenplay. The project is being described as a sequel, not a reboot, that will continue the events of The Mummy Returns after more than two decades.
