Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz seen for the first time on ‘The Mummy 4’ set
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are back in action for “The Mummy 4.”
Fraser, who is reprising his role as lead adventurer Rick O’Connell, was all smiles while filming scenes at a former military base in Suffolk, England, on Monday.
Cameras caught the actor in action as he put on a helmet and got behind the wheel of a silver-and-red rocket car during a record-speed trials scene.
Fraser, 57, was also photographed chatting with fellow actors on set as they cheered for him.
He dressed for the part, wearing a black leather jacket and pants.
As for Weisz, she was spotted filming a separate scene in London for the highly anticipated Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin-directed film.
The actress, who portrays Egyptologist Evelyn Carnahan, shot a few scenes outside the British Museum.
She stepped out wearing a brown cropped jacket, a mustard yellow polka-dot midi skirt and a wide-brimmed hat.
Weisz accessorized with black shoes, leather gloves and a brown leather briefcase.
At one point, she took out a camera to film something.
Fraser and Weisz first shared the screen for the franchise’s first film, “The Mummy,” released in 1999, followed by the second adaptation, “The Mummy Returns,” in 2001.
However, Weisz was notably not involved in the third movie, “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,” released in 2008.
Weisz and Fraser will star in the fourth installment alongside actors Oded Fehr, John Hannah and Kevin J. O’Connor, according to IMDB.
While the plot has not been revealed, directors Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are the masterminds behind the 2019 horror movie “Ready or Not” and the “Scream” franchise.
The movie is set to be released in October 2027.
