Rick O'Connell may be the action hero of The Mummy, but when it comes to the overall plot, Evelyn is the one with true main-character energy.
Rick O'Connell is often considered the main character of The Mummy franchise, but a closer look reveals that it is Evelyn who runs the show. From the very first film, Evie was always at the center of the plot, and it was her knowledge that typically saved the day. Despite this, she is often overlooked as an essential character of the series and was even recast and downplayed in the franchise's third film, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
8 Evelyn Was An Underrated Indiana Jones-Style Hero The Mummy and Indiana Jones fit into a similar mold. The campy supernatural horror mixed with the mysteries of archeology seems to be the perfect recipe for bringing in devoted audiences. Like Indy, Rick is recognized for his action-star charisma, but it's really Evelyn who best embodies all that the professor-turned-adventurer represents. In the end, she is a scholar first—an expert in all things linguistics and history.
5 The O’Connells' Earned Their Wealth Because Of Evelyn Before Rick met Evelyn, he had been a criminal sentenced to hang. By the end of The Mummy, however, he was a member of the wealthy elite. Once again, this all came down to Evie's promise that Hamunaptra would contain all the gold they could ever hope for. This had much to do with other characters sneakily loading horses with gold while the main crew was fighting Imhotep.
