Brendan Fraser is set to return as Rick O'Connell in the highly anticipated The Mummy 4, nearly two decades after his last appearance in the franchise. Despite concerns about age and performing stunts at 56, Fraser has humorously pointed out that stuntmen will handle the more physically demanding scenes. Notably, he has endured multiple injuries during previous installments, which have impacted his career. Although The Mummy 4 has not been officially confirmed, both Fraser and co-star Rachel Weisz seem optimistic. The new film is expected to be a sequel to the original trilogy while ignoring the third film, which did not feature Weisz, and is directed by the filmmaking duo of Radio Silence, known for their work on the Scream reboots.
