"The Mummy 4" Plans Unveiled with Brendan Fraser, but Dreams Dashed as Dark Universe Takes Over

Summary:
In a twist of fate, plans for "The Mummy 4," titled "Rise of the Aztec," were in motion, set to take Brendan Fraser's Rick O'Connell to South America. Maria Bello hinted at the project's existence, but it never materialized, eventually giving way to the ill-fated Dark Universe reboot.

Universal had considered Luke Ford's character, Alex O'Connell, to carry the franchise forward with a three-picture deal. The studio even commissioned a screenplay, targeting a release between 2010 and 2011. However, as the Dark Universe faced a disastrous start with the critical and financial failure of 2017's "The Mummy," plans for the original franchise were shelved.

Brendan Fraser, the iconic face of the original Mummy series, expressed interest in revisiting the role in recent interviews, leaving fans hopeful. Yet, with the specter of the Dark Universe's failure lingering, Universal remains cautious about reviving "The Mummy" in any form.

While Fraser's popularity is soaring, driven by recent successes, the fate of "The Mummy" franchise remains uncertain. Despite the hesitancy, Fraser's willingness to return opens the door to the possibility of revisiting this beloved cinematic universe. Only time will tell if Universal will heed the call of fans eager for a resurrection of "The Mummy."
