The Mummy 4 Set Photos Reveal Brendan Fraser as Rick O'Connell

Just days after The Mummy 4 set photos revealed Rachel Weisz as Evelyn O'Connell, we now have the first confirmed images of Brendan Fraser reprising his iconic role as Rick O'Connell.

Page Six published photos of the 57-year-old Fraser filming at a former military base in Suffolk, England. In the images, we can see Fraser wearing a black leather jacket and pants, and donning a helmet while driving a silver-and-red rocket car.

As with the Weisz photos, these Fraser photos suggest a 1950s post-war Britain setting, at least for early scenes. According to Page Six, Fraser was snapped filming a record-speed trials scene. Perhaps this is what we find him up to before he goes on some grand adventure.

The 56-year-old Weisz was spotted in costume as librarian, Egyptologist, and action heroine Evelyn O'Connell filming scenes outside the British Museum, which will reportedly appear early in the movie. The Mummy is set in 1926, The Mummy Returns in 1933, and Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 1946, so the 1950s for The Mummy 4 would make sense.

Weisz stars in the new The Mummy alongside Fraser nearly 20 years after the last The Mummy movie, 2008’s Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, came out. Weisz didn't appear in that divisive third entry (Maria Bello played the character instead). In March, The Mummy 4 director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett suggested Tomb of the Dragon isn't considered canon.

Last year, Fraser pointed to the power of stunt men ahead of filming. The actor sustained multiple injuries during production on The Mummy movies, including a torn spinal disc and a cracked rib, which led to numerous surgeries over several years. This took a significant toll on his health, and played a part in Fraser taking a break from his movie career.

Meanwhile, John Hannah will reprise his role as Jonathan Carnahan, the unscrupulous brother of Evelyn O'Connell. Hannah appeared in the first three Mummy movies. Elsewhere Oded Fehr returns as Ardeth Bay.

There’s still much we don’t know about The Mummy 4 — even its final title is unannounced. Last November, Fraser told the Associated Press he’d been waiting 20 years for the call to make another The Mummy, adding: “It’s time to give the fans what they want.”

The Mummy 4 hits theaters October 15, 2027.
