Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are back together on the set of The Mummy 4, and the first new photos show them in character again. The images, posted on X on October 14, 2026, catch Fraser as Rick O'Connell and Weisz as Carnahan-O'Connell in what looks like a charged scene between the two leads.
For readers looking up Rachel Weisz now, the reason is simple: these are the first clear reunion shots from the still-untitled sequel, and they show production moving forward with its two best-known stars. Fraser wears a brown suede jacket over a green plaid shirt, while Weisz appears in a burgundy blazer and matching skirt, a look that makes the reunion feel less like a nostalgic pose and more like a scene already in motion.
The photos also do something a trailer never can. Alongside the apparent confrontation, the behind-the-scenes images show Fraser and Weisz laughing and sharing a warm moment, which is exactly the kind of split image that keeps a franchise alive: old chemistry, new conflict. That matters here because The Mummy 4 is being set up as a direct sequel to The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, not a continuation of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, so every glimpse of the pair helps define what this next chapter is choosing to remember.
That also leaves one question hanging over the reunion shots: what, exactly, is the confrontation for? The photos do not say, and they do not need to. What they do confirm is that the film is past the stage of simple announcement and into active production, with Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin directing and a return lineup that includes John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Oded Fehr and Kevin J. O'Connor. With The Mummy 4 still scheduled for release on October 15, 2027, these images are the first sign that the movie is choosing its old cast, its old tone and, at least for now, its old spark.
