AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Universal Pictures has scheduled the fourth installment of The Mummy, starring returning leads Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, for a May 19, 2028 theatrical release.
Universal Pictures has officially locked down a release date for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise. According to the studio schedule, the long-awaited sequel bringing back original stars Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz will hit theaters on May 19, 2028. While an official title is still under wraps, the confirmation gives fans a concrete target to look forward to after years of speculation about a true legacy continuation of the 1999 adventure classic.
This project sits alongside a separate upcoming take on the franchise directed by Lee Cronin, which has been steadily ramping up its marketing campaign with new trailers and visual reveals ahead of its release. For long-time fans who grew up watching the original trilogy on repeat, the current revival of the property is turning into a massive nostalgia win. The return of Fraser and Weisz alongside returning cast members like Oded Fehr promises a direct line to the chemistry that made the original films such enduring pop culture staples.
Even though 2028 is a few years away, the timeline gives the production plenty of room to shape a proper blockbuster experience. Fraser has already shared glimpses of his physical training for the role, showing genuine dedication to stepping back into the action hero shoes that defined an era of cinema. As Hollywood continues to mine past hits for legacy sequels, this particular reunion stands out because it brings back the actual core ensemble rather than relying solely on brand recognition.
