Universal Pictures is returning to one of its most beloved action-adventure franchises, with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz in discussions to return for a new Mummy movie, presumably reprising their roles from the studio's Mummy films of the '90s and 2000s, multiple sources tell Deadline.

Reps for Universal Pictures declined to comment, and plot details for the new film are under wraps. But we hear Radio Silence's Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will direct from a script by David Coggeshall (The Family Plan films, The Deliverance), with franchise veteran Sean Daniel to produce alongside William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein of Project X Entertainment

Very nice! The Mummy films are some of the favorite guilty pleasure movies. Very excited to see Brendan in an adventure movie again!

I have loved this pair in Mummy movies. They were young and were good in performing actions and adventure scenes. However, now they are old and I am not sure if I would like them doing such scenes. I prefer young actors to do physically demanding scenes.
