The Mummy Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Alright, let’s break out the dusty bandages—because The Mummy, yes, the fictional but somehow always trending crypt-crawler, has been busier than me searching for clean socks on laundry day.
In what might be the news that has archaeologists and Brendan Fraser stans everywhere collectively yelping into their popcorn, a brand-new The Mummy movie has officially been announced for development. Universal’s rolling out the tomb for a fresh film, which, according to The Direct and IMDb, will be the first proper Mummy installment since 2017’s widely “well, that happened” Tom Cruise reboot. This news is about as seismic as finding a hieroglyphic that says “streaming rights pending” the franchise has cranked out 15 movies since its sarcophagus swung open, and now it’s coming to scare up audiences all over again, or at least give Twitter something to meme about.
But hold up—the Fraser faithful have something to cling to as well. There’s a recent update from the original Mummy director giving hope that Brendan Fraser’s Rick O’Connell may finally return in the long-whispered Mummy 4. Apparently, this update was enough to jolt the internet to full resuscitation mode, with fans tripping over their trowels at the idea of more wisecracking adventure and less Tom Cruise yelling at sandstorms. Will it be set in 1920s Egypt or will Rick be hunting for WiFi at a Starbucks in Cairo? Nobody knows. At this point, I expect to see the Mummy battling iPhones and existential dread.
Not to be forgotten in the streaming wars, The Mummy’s various forms are suddenly unkillable online. Brendan Fraser’s beloved 1999 monster romp just landed a fresh streaming deal, and a scary new horror reboot packed with “strategically timed moments of visceral gore” is out on Prime Video suggests DreadCentral.com. If your idea of “classic horror” is seeing someone unroll faster than my patience at a techno music festival, this is peak September viewing.
Social media? The Mummy’s trending again, with Mummy memes popping up everywhere from Instagram to TikTok—think “Hot Mummy Summer,” a phrase I just invented but fully expect to see stitched on tote bags by tomorrow.
Gotta wrap this up—pun intended. Thanks for listening to The Mummy Biography Flash with me, Marcus Ellery. Want more bandage-busting updates and biographies?
