And it’s taken years more, but Universal is finally coming back around to that notion. And 27 years after the successful 1999 Mummy, and 18 years after The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Universal’s beloved franchise is coming back to life, with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz set to reunite. The Mummy franchise will finally return after 20 years. The last entry to the original Mummy franchise premiered way back in 2008 — and it’s been even longer since Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have co-starred in one together. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are currently in talks to star in The Mummy 4.
