Kevin J. O'Connor and Oded Fehr Confirmed for The Mummy 4
Universal Pictures announced that the fourth installment of the franchise, The Mummy (Oct. 15 2027), will be directed by the Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli‑Olpin and Tyler Gillett, with a script by David Coggeshall. The film will bring back the original leads Brendan Fraser as Rick O'Connell, Rachel Weisz as Evelyn Carnahan and John Hannah as Jonathan Carnahan. In addition, two veteran actors from the 1999 movie have been confirmed: Kevin J. O'Connor will reprise his role as the treacherous treasure‑hunter Beni Gabor, and Oded Fehr will return as the Medjai leader Ardeth Bay. New faces joining the cast include Turkish‑German actor Numan Acar and horror‑star Michael Johnston, though their characters remain undisclosed. The sequel is positioned as a direct follow‑up to The Mummy Returns (2001), ignoring the 2008 third film, and aims to recapture the tone of the original adventure‑horror entries.
