Before Tom Cruise was cast in a similar role as part of Universal’s failed “Dark Universe,” it was of course Brendan Fraser who was the lead of The Mummy franchise, starring as the heroic Rick O’Connell in The Mummy, The Mummy Returns and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor between 1999 and 2008. Now that the most recent reboot failed to launch a new franchise, would Fraser be up for reprising the role of Rick O’Connell in the future?

Under one important condition, he says.

“Absolutely!” Fraser just told Cinema Blend, when they asked if he’d be open to making another Mummy movie. “Just gotta say, I know how hard it is to make that movie. I tried to do it three times, and the essential ingredient is fun. You gotta remember to have fun.”

“So if there’s a fun way to approach it again, I’m all in.”

The Fraser-led Mummy franchise was a massive success, with the 1999 film out-grossing the 2017 film even when its numbers aren’t adjusted for inflation. So never say never!
