Brendan Fraser said he’s doing his best to get in shape as he trains for the long-awaited return of Rick O’Connell in The Mummy 4<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The actor who led Universal Pictures’ popular Mummy franchise from 1999 to 2008 commented on and confirmed his involvement in the 18-years-in-the-making movie during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/u><\/a>. He stopped short of spilling too many beans about how the film will pick the story back up, but he did have one request for fans: “Please wish me luck.”<\/p>\n

“I was hopeful for a long while, and then I was like, ‘No, I don’t know if they are,’ you know. Other Mummy movies got made and\u2026” Fraser said regarding his one-time dampened expectations for a fourth Mummy movie. “But anyway, look, what we’re going to do is saddle back up, go back to the locations\u2026 I should probably stop talking like this because I don’t want to give everything away.”<\/p>\n

“However,” he continued, “please wish me luck. I’m doing my best to get this 57-year-old gear in shape.”<\/p>\n

Not to be confused with Lee Cronin’s The Mummy<\/u><\/a>, which premiered in theaters April 17, 2026, Fraser’s series began with the release of The Mummy<\/u><\/a> in 1999 and offered a more action-adventure-style take on a classic horror icon. Also featuring Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, and more, the movie attracted a dedicated fan base, who then showed up for its sequel, The Mummy Returns<\/u><\/a>, in 2001.<\/p>\n

It continued with a third mainline film, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor<\/u><\/a>, in 2008, but diminished box office returns and poor scores from critics have left the Fraser-focused franchise entombed since. As the years have passed, however, fans have longed for a return to what is now seen as a quintessential 2000s film series, and as announced<\/u><\/a> late last year, they will get their wish.<\/p>\n
