Brendan Fraser, the iconic star of the original The Mummy franchise, is finally getting the fourth installment he's been waiting for nearly two decades. In an exclusive interview, Fraser revealed that the long-awaited project is a culmination of years of anticipation and perseverance. The Mummy franchise, which Fraser joined in 1999, has been a beloved action-adventure series that expanded to include other films and spin-offs. After the last installment, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, in 2008, the franchise stalled. However, with the recent confirmation of a new film, directed by the acclaimed duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, fans are eager to see Fraser and Rachel Weisz return to their iconic roles. In a nostalgic turn, Fraser reflected on his past experiences, including his time on the set of George of the Jungle. He fondly remembered working with Leslie Mann and the lovable Tookie Tookie bird, recalling a particularly hilarious moment where he felt hungry on set. The actor also reminisced about his work with the talented young actress Sadie Sink, praising her incredible focus and dedication to her craft. When asked about his recent experience filming on a working train, Fraser described the chaotic yet exhilarating atmosphere. The team had to shoot scenes on a real commuter train, which added an extra layer of complexity to the production. Despite the challenges, Fraser was thrilled to be a part of the "flurry of activity" that characterized the making of the film. The new Mummy film promises to deliver a fresh and exciting chapter in the franchise, one that Fraser has been waiting for nearly two decades to bring to life. With the talented duo of Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett at the helm, fans can expect a thrilling ride that will satisfy their cravings for action and adventure. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated project.
