He continued, \u201cCut to, we\u2019re finishing Abigail, and we\u2019re meeting with Dave Coggeshall, the writer, and we\u2019re designing a pitch. We have been in this line of work long enough to know that nothing is real until it\u2019s very, very real. It\u2019s all speculative, and it feels great to give energy to really wonderful ideas, but we have learned to keep those opportunities a little bit at arm\u2019s distance because it\u2019s just easy to have your heart broken.\u201c<\/p>\n
Is The Mummy 3 Canon?<\/p>\n
The success of The Mummy<\/a> prompted a sequel, The Mummy Returns<\/a>, but it would be almost eight years until the gang returned for a third outing. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor<\/a> wasn\u2019t nearly as well-received as the first two, especially as Maria Bello replaced Weisz as Evelyn. When asked if they consider it canon to their movie, Bettinelli-Olpin said, \u201cWell, Rachel is in this one.\u201c<\/p>\n \u201cThat should answer the question for you,\u201d Gillett said.<\/p>\n I\u2019d wager that nothing in The Mummy 4 will outright conflict with Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, but it just won\u2019t be referenced. Although I wouldn\u2019t put it past them to include a little meta-dig at the sequel.<\/p>\n The Mummy 4 Tease<\/p>\n It\u2019s still too early to reveal any real details on The Mummy 4, but the pair teased that it will be \u201creally, really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it\u2019s awesome.\u201d Bettinelli-Olpin added that he doesn\u2019t think \u201cBrendan and Rachel are getting involved unless they love that script, and what they read, I think they really liked. And it\u2019s a good script. It\u2019s gonna be fun to make.\u201c<\/p>\n The sequel is currently slated for a May 19, 2028 release<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n Subscribe to our weekly newsletter\n <\/p>\n![\"JoBlo](\"https:\/\/www.joblo.com\/wp-content\/themes\/face3-joblo\/assets\/images\/joblo-logo-icon-2025.svg\"){kind=icon}
