The prospect of The Mummy 4 with Brendan Fraser returning following his Oscar win is exciting and could repair the worst parts of The Mummy trilogy’s legacy. Fraser’s relevant cinematic comeback in recent times has boosted anticipation for any news about The Mummy 4. Although not much pertaining to a fourth installment has come to pass, The Mummy 4 would still fix a lot about what went wrong within the franchise, particularly in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and perhaps reinvigorate Fraser’s classic trilogy.

Fraser, who famously played adventurous hero Rick O’Connell in The Mummy trilogy, has indicated that he would reprise the role under the right circumstances (via Variety). His sentiment is promising given that the once beloved actor’s comeback has been critically received and the high demand to continue The Mummy narrative. Unquestionably, the right circumstances for the making of The Mummy 4 is an engaging enough storyline that not only caters to the satisfaction of Fraser following his career revival but also to longtime fans who want The Mummy 4 done right.
