It sounds as though the upcoming Mummy movie will include a few treats for fans of the original movies, as star Brendan Fraser teases a return to signature locations.

"So we're going to give the audience what they have been bothering all of us for the last 20-whatever years," said Fraser to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. "What we're going to do is saddle back up, go back to the locations."

The Mummy 4 is set to bring back Fraser as strapping treasure hunter Rick O'Connell and Rachel Weisz as beautiful librarian and Rock's wife, Evelyn. Although no official plot details have been released just yet, we do know that the fourth Mummy film will disregard the third movie and follow on from the second movie, The Mummy Returns. This is because Weisz was not in the third film, with her character played by Maria Bello in 2008's Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

So, what locations might the new movie revisit? Well, due to there being almost two decades between the sequel and the upcoming movie, we expect a rather big time jump between the two movies. However, the sequel could still jump back to Egypt in the 1920s and '30s when the duo accidentally awoke the Mummy.

The Mummy 4 is a long time coming. Despite attempts to reboot the franchise with The Scorpion King spin-off series and a different take in Tom Cruise's 2017 movie, fans thought they may never see Fraser back as the Indiana Jones-esque adventurer, and he didn't either. "I was hopeful for a long while, and then I was like, no, I don't know if they are, you know. Other Mummy movies got made."

However, Fraser does seem a little worried about returning to the physical aspect of the character, as he told Fallon, "Please wish me luck. I'm doing my best to get this 57-year-old gear in shape."

The Mummy 4 will release in theatres on May 19, 2028. For more, check out our guides to the best monster movies or all the other most exciting upcoming movies.
