The shake-up sees the film swap dates with the upcoming Miami Vice reboot, signaling growing momentum behind Universal\u2019s revived franchise.<\/p>\n<p>The project marks a major return to form after the original trilogy stalled following the lukewarm reception to The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor \u2014 where Weisz was replaced by Maria Bello \u2014 and the failed The Mummy led by Tom Cruise in 2017. <\/p>\n<p>Now, with Fraser and Weisz back in the fold, the studio appears confident in reigniting the adventure series that defined late \u201990s blockbuster cinema. Also set to return is John Hannah as Evelyn\u2019s cowardly, wealth-obsessed, but ultimately loving brother Jonathan Carnahan. <\/p>\n<p>Behind the camera, directing duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are steering the project, with a script from David Coggeshall. <\/p>\n<p>Production is reportedly eyeing an August 2026 start, with the filmmakers promising a PG-13 tone that still aims to \u201ctake some risks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weiz will reunite as Rick O&#8217;Connell and Evelyn Carnahan The sands are shifting sooner&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-551919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
