While Fraser starred in \u201cThe Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor\u201d in 2008, Weisz did not take part in the project.<\/p>\n

Instead, Maria Bello played the Golden Globe winner\u2019s role.<\/p>\n

Weisz explained to ES Magazine in 2008 that she was replaced because of a scheduling conflict, as the movie would have required five months in China when she was already signed onto another film.<\/p>\n
