Biography Flash: The Mummy Returns in New Sequel, Ditching Dragon Emperor & Tom Cruise
The Mummy Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
If you missed this, then clearly your internet got lost in a sandstorm: The Mummy—the *fictional* character who’s been haunting pop culture since before my hairline started receding—is all over the news this week. In what is arguably the biggest development for desiccated grave-robbers everywhere, Universal announced a brand-new sequel to the Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz Mummy era, with the original duo in talks to return. Brendan Fraser is set to don his khakis and smile, while Rachel Weisz, presumably, will return to remind us that being a hyper-competent librarian is still extremely hot. Radio Silence—the directors behind Ready or Not, and the guys who made Scream cool again—are in the director’s chair. Word is, they’re dusting off the franchise right after the 2001 sequel, ignoring the less-loved third entry as if it’s your ex at a Halloween party. According to Moviefone, this installment will be a direct sequel to the earlier films and won’t even pretend that the Dragon Emperor ever happened—sorry to fans of yetis and awkward recasts.
Script duties fall to David Coggeshall, whose credits range from Orphan: First Kill to The Family Plan, so we’re either getting an intense family drama, or the Book of the Dead visits preschool. Either way, the bar for biographical relevance skyrocketed: the actual Mummy—yes, Imhotep, the myth, the bandage legend—might get another big-screen resurrection, unless Radio Silence decides he deserves a well-earned nap. Because if there’s one thing social media made clear: nobody was clamoring for another Tom Cruise incarnation, unless that included a scene where he outruns a sandstorm barefoot.
And check this out for meta: Mohamed Diab, director of Moon Knight, publicly called out the franchise for its, shall we say, “mummy issues”—specifically a lack of Egyptian authenticity. The comment ricocheted across X and Instagram, where fans debated whether the Mummy should ever be allowed to speak in an accent that isn’t 1930s British. Because nothing says “ancient undead priest” like an Eton education, am I right?
Meanwhile, superfans have already started their wish lists. ScreenCrush, Bleeding Cool, and every corner of Reddit are clamoring for more fun, more ridiculousness, and—please, Universal—let Rick and Evie stay happily married. If you kill the romance, the only thing mummified will be my soul.
That’s your Mummy biography blast for today, hot and fresh from the tomb.

Thanks for listening—now excuse me while I go practice my Imhotep impression in the bathroom mirror.
