Fans Demand 1 Actor’s Return as The Mummy 4 Sets Release Date
Universal Pictures has officially set a release date for The Mummy 4, sending fans into a frenzy. While the return of original stars has been celebrated, a unified demand is now echoing across social media for one crucial actor’s comeback.
Fans erupt over The Mummy 4 release date announcement
The studio has dated The Mummy 4 for a wide theatrical release on May 19, 2028. The announcement confirmed that Academy Award winners Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have closed deals to reprise their iconic roles as adventurer Rick O’Connell and Egyptologist Evelyn O’Connell. This is Weisz’s first return to the franchise since 2001’s The Mummy Returns.
Directed by Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the film aims to inject fresh horror-comedy energy into the beloved series. The plot is being kept tightly under wraps. The news led to immediate celebration online, with fans expressing their long-held hopes. One fan wrote, “LETS GOOOOOOO,” while another declared, “The Mummy with the OG cast….We are so back.”
The Mummy 4 fans want Arnold Vosloo’s return
Yet, amidst the excitement for the heroes’ return, a focused campaign is happening. Fans are passionately advocating for the comeback of Arnold Vosloo in The Mummy 4. He was the actor who played the franchise’s original and most memorable villain, the cursed priest Imhotep. This demand has become a central part of the conversation.
The sentiment is clear in fan reactions. One tweet stated, “The Mommy, the Daddy… and the other Mummy. (Bring back Arnold too…),” and another pointedly asked, “What about Imhotep? Will be back Arnold Vosloo? That,s the point.” This collective plea shows that for many, the core chemistry of the original films was defined by the clash between Fraser’s Rick and Vosloo’s Imhotep.
Moreover, The Mummy 4 brings back producer Sean Daniel, who has shepherded the franchise since the 1999 reboot. He will produce alongside William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein.
