\n\t\u201cObsession\u201d star Michael Johnston is in early talks to join the fourth installment of \u201cThe Mummy,\u201d Variety <\/em>has confirmed.<\/p>\n

\n\tJohnston previously starred in the TV series \u201cTeen Wolf,\u201d but this year\u2019s \u201cObsession\u201d brought him to the attention of moviegoers when the low-budget Curry Barker horror film\u00a0became a box-office sensation. <\/p>\n

\nAs previously reported, Academy Award winners\u00a0Brendan Fraser\u00a0and\u00a0Rachel Weisz\u00a0are officially returning for a fourth installment of the blockbuster franchise, \u201cThe Mummy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tUniversal Pictures has dated the movie, directed by Radio Silence\u2019s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, for a wide theatrical release on Oct. 15, 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\tFraser and Weisz, whose involvement was\u00a0first reported last fall, have closed deals to reprise their roles as adventurer Rick O\u2019Connell and Egyptologist Evelyn O\u2019Connell in the movie, plot details for which are being kept \u2014 not unironically \u2014 under wraps.<\/p>\n

\nFan favorite John Hannah was also confirmed to return to the film\u2019s franchise.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Mummy\u201d follows a treasure hunter who accidentally awakens a cursed Egyptian priest with supernatural powers. The movie and its 2001 sequel \u201cThe Mummy Returns\u201d were major box office hits, reviving the classic monster movie IP and establishing Fraser as a bankable action star. Weisz, however, did not appear in the 2008 threequel \u201cThe Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,\u201d so her return to the franchise is particularly thrilling for fans.<\/p>\n

\n\tBettinelli-Olpin and Gillett (\u201cReady or Not\u201d and sequel \u201cReady or Not 2: Here I Come\u201d) direct the new \u201cMummy\u201d movie from a screenplay by David Coggeshall (\u201cThe Family Plan,\u201d \u201cOrphan: First Kill\u201d). Sean Daniel \u2014 who has produced each installment of the $1.8 billion-grossing franchise at the studio since 1999\u2019s \u201cThe Mummy,\u201d including \u201cThe Mummy Returns,\u201d \u201cThe Scorpion King,\u201d \u201cThe Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor\u201d and the 2017 Dark Universe project \u2014 also returns for the film.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilliam Sherak, James Vanderbilt and Paul Neinstein, whose joint credits include\u00a0\u201cNuremberg,\u201d the\u00a0Scream\u00a0franchise\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cThe Night Agent\u201d\u00a0series, will\u00a0produce\u00a0through Project X Entertainment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tClayton Townsend will produce.\u00a0 Brendan Fraser and\u00a0Hivemind\u2019s Jason F. Brown will\u00a0executive\u00a0produce the film.<\/p>\n
