Rumors of a new Mummy film, potentially titled The Mummy 4, are circulating, with the filmmaking team Radio Silence reportedly involved. Details are scarce, but the potential return of Rick and Evelyn O'Connell and their son is anticipated, promising a continuation of the action-adventure series.
The millennial nostalgia is in full force this week after several outlets reported that a reboot of a pop culture staple could be in the works. The beloved action-adventure romance duo Rick and Evelyn O’Connell could grace screens yet again with another "Mummy" film.
Here’s what’s being reported: Here’s everything that’s been reported so far about "The Mummy 4" from various publications like The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and Deadline: Radio Silence is a filmmaking team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett behind the fun horror movie "Ready or Not" in 2019, and are known for helping revitalize the Scream franchise with a pair of movies in 2022 and 2023, The Hollywood Reporter reported. There are no hints yet on when the film could begin production or hit theaters. It also wasn’t known how the story would pick up between the married couple, though we'd bet the plot would follow the lines of, "Rescue the damsel in distress, kill the bad guy and save the world," as cheekily laid out by Rick in the first film. It's also unclear if any other iconic characters could also return. The couple has a son, who was part of the second and third films, so it’s expected he could be part of the movie as well.

It was met with mixed critic review, but became a staying power in pop culture and spawned a new franchise – leading to "The Mummy Returns" in 2001 and "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" in 2008, and other spinoffs, such as "The Scorpion King" prequel in 2002 starring Dwayne Johnson. Universal resurrected the mummy story again in 2017 with another, though other-world spinoff starring Tom Cruise.Part of the franchise’s lure was ancient Egypt, perhaps it is kismet that the film’s big news was reported on the same day that, across the globe in Cairo, the new, massive museum dedicated to the civilization opened its doors to the public. It’s been a long time coming for the $1 billion megaproject, which houses nearly 50,000 artifacts and has been in a soft opening for the last two years.The Grand Egyptian Museum, located near the Pyramids at the edge of the city, is expected to boost Egypt’s tourism revenues and help invigorate the country’s troubled economy.
