Production on the highly anticipated new installment of “The Mummy,” reuniting Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, is slated to commence this August. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have confirmed that the creative team is currently deep in pre-production. Final logistical preparations are scheduled for May, setting the stage for the cast and crew to assemble on location by late summer.
While specific plot details remain strictly under wraps, the film is officially positioned for a global theatrical release on May 19, 2028.
The franchise originally launched in 1999 under the direction of Stephen Sommers. That initial action-adventure became a massive blockbuster sensation, successfully spawning a series of popular sequels and spin-offs.
