The Mummy 4 Set Photos Show Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz Back Together

The first looks at Rick and Evelyn O'Connell in costume arrive as the sequel films in London, with a release set for October 2027.

New set photos show Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz back in costume as Rick and Evelyn O'Connell on The Mummy 4, their first return to the franchise together in 25 years. The first images began circulating in late September, and a newer set that surfaced on October 14, according to JoBlo and Comic Basics, is the first to show the pair together on the new film.

The first looks. The first photos came on September 28, when the New York Post shared a first look at Weisz in costume. Page Six reported that Fraser was photographed on a Monday at a former military base in Suffolk, England, wearing a black leather jacket and getting into a silver-and-red rocket car, and that his stunt double was also seen driving it. Comic Basics reports the scene appears to be a record-speed trials sequence. Weisz was photographed separately in London, including outside the British Museum, in a cropped brown jacket and wide-brimmed hat, and Coming Soon published photos of her in a yellow polka-dot skirt carrying a briefcase.

The new photos. In the October images Weisz wears a deep red skirt suit with a belted jacket, and Fraser wears a brown jacket over a plaid shirt and jeans, according to Comic Basics. Thought Catalog's post places the sighting in West London.

The costumes suggest the story has moved to the 1950s, though the film's setting has not been officially confirmed and the title has not been announced. Reports differ on when cameras started rolling: one puts the start of production at September 7, 2026, while Comic Basics says production began in August in London and Morocco.

Cast and crew. Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of Radio Silence from a script by David Coggeshall, the film is a direct sequel to The Mummy Returns, according to Deadline as cited by Comic Basics. John Hannah, Oded Fehr and Kevin J. O'Connor also return, and Michael Johnston and Numan Acar are new. Plot details have not been revealed.

Universal moved the release up from May 19, 2028 to October 15, 2027, according to JoBlo. You can read more in our report on the release date and filming start.
