Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz appear together on the set of ‘The Mummy 4’, a pairing that has not been seen since the original film opened 27 years earlier. The images were issued as part of the sequel’s promotional rollout, confirming that production is active. The Economic Times published a feature that catalogued all current details, while Digital Spy described the moment as a “long‑awaited” glimpse of the franchise’s continuation.

IMDb posted the photos under its “First Look” gallery, noting Weisz’s return as Evelyn O’Connell. Page Six and People.com both reported Fraser’s presence on set, emphasizing the 27‑year gap since his last appearance in the original movie. Reporting diverges on emphasis: some outlets foreground Weisz’s character continuity, others spotlight Fraser’s nostalgic return, yet none disclose plot outlines, director, or filming locations.

Details on the sequel’s budget, additional cast and official release window are absent. Confirmation of storyline direction, distribution partner and premiere date remains pending.
