Brendan Fraser and The Mummy Cast Reunite 26 Years After Film’s Release

The Mummy cast had a major reunion nearly 30 years after the blockbuster movie was made.

Brendan Fraser (Rick O’Connell), Patricia Velásquez (Anck-Su-Namun), John Hannah (Jonathan Carnahan) and Oded Fehr (Ardeth Bay) were photographed together at the 2025 Fan Expo Denver on July 6, 26 years after the adventure film hit theaters in 1999.

Noticeably absent from the photo opp was Rachel Weisz (Evelyn Carnahan) and Arnold Vosloo (Imhotep a.k.a. The Mummy).

In a post shared to Instagram by ScreenThrill, fans went wild at the sight of some of their favorites back together again. 

“The mummy is one of the most underrated action adventure films in the last 30 years! Just a classic,” one person wrote.

Another added, “The Mummy and Mummy Returns are two of my favorite adventure movies of all time!”

One even raved about how Fehr, 54, still seemed to channel his debonair character almost three decades later, writing, “Oded’s hair & beard are still Glorious.”

Set in 1925, Fraser, 56, and Weisz, 55, starred as leads Rick and Evelyn, also known as “Evie,” a dashing adventurer and explorer teamed with an Egyptologist, respectively. 

The unlikely pair must race against the clock to save all of humanity after tomb hunters unwittingly set loose a 3,000-year-old vengeful reincarnation of an Egyptian priest. 

They were joined by Evelyn’s older brother Jonathan, and Ardeth, a chief member of the Medjai, descendants of the royal bodyguards of several pharaohs of Egypt.

The hit film, which made more than $400 million at the box office, was an update of the 1932 classic film, and made way for two sequels — 2001’s The Mummy Returns and 2008’s Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

There was also a 2017 The Mummy reboot which starred Tom Cruise. Unfortunately for the Mission Impossible movie star, 63, his version did not live up to its predecessors.

During Fan Expo Denver, Fraser gave his take on why the follow-up flopped, per Collider.

The conversation reportedly began when the Bedazzled star was asked about Universal’s attempts to build the Dark Universe with 2017’s The Mummy and 2020’s The Invisible Man, and if there could ever be a crossover between the two.

“I really don’t know. I know Tom Cruise tried to make his movie and it ain’t easy! We all know how hard this movie is to make…” Fraser said onstage while seated with Hannah, Velásquez and Fehr.

The Oscar winner added, “With the exception of three [The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor], the thing with all of these films is that, at least it was fun, it was a thrill ride, and you wanted to do it again.”

“The answer is you’ve just got to give everybody what they really, really want,” Fraser said.

The Mummy celebrated its 25th anniversary last year.
