Would Brendan Fraser Make Another Mummy Movie? "I'm Always Looking..."

As a fan who’s been on this rollercoaster of emotions since the golden days of ‘The Mummy’, I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect of Brendan Fraser reprising his iconic role as Rick O’Connell. The man has come a long way from his Encino Man days, and his recent comeback with ‘The Whale’ is nothing short of phenomenal.


Brendan Fraser is open to starring in another film from the Mummy series: at the moment, he’s busy promoting The Whale which premiered in cinemas on Friday and has been creating a buzz for possible Oscars, but he isn’t so engrossed in this project that he can’t contemplate future possibilities. You can catch up with the Mummy series right now on Peacock streaming service.

As a seasoned gamer, I’ve always been the daring adventurer in countless virtual worlds. Just like Rick O’Connell in the thrilling Mummy series, I’ve embarked on epic quests across three films. Recently, Entertainment Weekly posed a question about reprising my role, and honestly, it feels like an exciting new level to conquer – it sounds like fun!

Fraser, aged 55, mentioned that he’s constantly on the hunt for a job, especially if there’s an opportunity out there. He shared that he’s never been both renowned and unpaid as much as he is now, so he encourages everyone to share this information.

Brendan Fraser’s ‘The Mummy’ character is tough, not toxic

The Universal Pictures trilogy, which began in 1999 with “The Mummy”, was a massive success at the cinema. This led to two more movies being produced: “The Mummy Returns” in 2001 and “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” in 2008.

After gaining fame in films such as “Encino Man,” “George of the Jungle,” and “The Quiet American,” Fraser stepped away from acting for a while, with no new film projects released between 2015 and 2018. Despite not having received an official offer for another “Mummy” movie, he suspects that fans of the franchise would be enthusiastic about it.

In the past few years, during what some call my break, I’ve been enjoying myself tremendously by attending fan conventions, mingling with everyone, expressing my appreciation to them directly for helping me reach my current position,” Fraser said to EW. “I think I’ve finally let go of my ego, as I no longer use excuses like ‘I’m too busy’ or ‘That’s not for me.’ I realized I needed to show more gratitude.

In the 2017 remake of “The Mummy,” Tom Cruise played a U.S. Army sergeant who unwittingly helps revive an Egyptian princess. However, this version didn’t garner the same positive response as Brendan Fraser’s original series.

In the movie titled “The Whale“, Fraser takes on the role of a heavily overweight educator who is striving to mend ties with his adolescent daughter, portrayed by the talented actress from “Stranger Things“, Sadie Sink.
