Though Stephen Sommers' The Mummy wasn't a particularly huge hit - critically or commercially - when it was released back in 1999, it has gained a massive fan-following over the years, and Indiana Jones-like (lite?) adventurer Rick O'Connell is still considered star Brendan Fraser's best-known role.
With Fraser currently enjoying a career resurgence thanks to the likes of HBO Max's Doom Patrol and Darren Aronofsky's The Whale, is there any chance he'd be interested in returning as his most famous character?
Actually, it sounds like he'd be only too happy to get back kicking some undead ass!
“I’m not opposed to it, I don’t know an actor who doesn’t want a job," he tells Deadline. "I don’t think I’ve been this famous and unsalaried at the same time in my professional life so sign me up!”
We've actually heard that both Fraser and Dwayne Johnson - who played the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns and its spin-off - have been approached about a potential revival of the franchise. Nothing solid for now, but with Fraser's star back on the rise and The Rock seemingly done with Black Adam, the timing couldn't be any better.
