The Mummy 4, starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, officially has a title. Universal Pictures announced Thursday that the long-awaited reunion film is called "The Mummy: Book of the Dead," scheduled to hit theaters on October 15, 2027, per Deadline.

Fraser and Weisz will reprise their roles as Rick and Evie, the characters they first brought to life in 1999's The Mummy. Plot details remain under wraps, though industry insiders suggest the story will explore ancient mysteries tied to the original trilogy.

Several familiar faces are also returning to the franchise. John Hannah, Kevin J.

O'Connor, and Oded Fehr will reunite with Fraser and Weisz, while Michael Johnston and Numan Acar join the cast in undisclosed roles. Producer Sean Daniel, who worked on several previous entries in the franchise, is back alongside Project X Entertainment's William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, and Clayton Townsend.

Fraser and Hivemind's Jason F. Brown will serve as executive producers, ensuring the creative vision aligns with the legacy of the original films.

The announcement has sparked significant excitement among fans who have been clamoring for a reunion for over two decades. The original 1999 film became a cult classic, blending adventure, horror, and comedy.

Universal Pictures is banking on the nostalgia factor to drive box office success. The studio has reportedly allocated a massive budget for visual effects to modernize the franchise's signature aesthetic.

Production is expected to begin early next year in various international locations, including Morocco and Egypt, to maintain the authentic feel of the series. As the release date of October 15, 2027, approaches, fans can expect more teasers and potential trailer releases in the coming months.

This project marks a significant milestone for Brendan Fraser, who has seen a career resurgence in recent years, further cementing his status as a beloved Hollywood icon.
