The Mummyfranchise has long been a fan-favorite one, even though some of its installments may not have been that well-received by fans. Since 1999, the film series under Stephen Sommers has been doing everything in its power to leave fans absolutely baffled and captivated to the core. Then there was Tom Cruise’s titular film from 2017, which, well, wasn’t all that loved by viewers.
However, even after the release of so many installments, with some of them being critical blockbusters while others cease to grab the opportunities perfectly, a new installment from the saga is currently in the works. And this one might as well make one really major Brendan Fraser-Tom Cruise scenario a reality by bringing back both actors to the fan-favorite franchise.
NewMummyfilm could make a dream Brendan Fraser-Tom Cruise scenario come true
Even though it has already been multiple decades sinceThe Mummyfranchise has been delivering some really epic pieces of those undeadcreatureswrapped in bandages, it doesn’t seem to be done yet. According to@DiscussingFilm on X, there’s a new film from the franchise in the works.
Per the details known as of yet, this said project is reportedly set to be helmed by none other than the mastermind behind the smash-hit horror/thrillerEvil Dead Rise, Lee Cronin. Additionally, the source also reported that this movie will be hitting the theatres on July 03, 2025.
After the previous installment, 2017’sThe Mummy, things seem to be rather bleak for the saga, considering how the film scored the worst critical and general ratings of all time from the franchise (seeRotten Tomatoes). However, things just might change if one dream scenario comes true.

This dream scenario would be bothBrendan FraserandTom Cruisecollaborating for this upcoming installment, which would truly be an iconic sight to behold. This is because Fraser, for one, has been a part of the franchise for years, and Cruise joining him would add further stars.
Additionally, even though this seems unlikely if this Fraser-Cruise collaborating dream scenario of many turns out to be true and they succeed in somehow bringing back both the actors, the results could be box-office breaking and maybe even multiple other records breaking.
That said, it would be one way that the saga could deliver yet another epic piece of work, with both Fraser and Cruise taking the lead against some serious mummy business. However fans, on the other hand, don’t seem to be holding all that high hopes about the same.
Fans aren’t sure if they want anotherMummyinstallment
Although it would be one of the finest moments in the history of cinema to see Fraser and Cruise, both of whom have established themselves as two of the greatest, most commendable, and incredibly legendary talents of Hollywood’s entertainment industry, the chances of the same happening are rather bleak.

Plus, the 2017 film from Cruise already had fans realizing that a reboot isn’t exactly what they want, so their expectations with this new forthcoming installment are rather low as well. All in all, taking to X, here’s what these very fans have to say about this newMummyinstallment:
Has so much potential, but I’m not putting any faith in this yet
Great. Let’s ruin an old favorite. Star Wars wasn’t enough.

Needless to say, the news of a newMummyinstallment has sparked both excitement and skepticism. While some fans are hoping for the return of Brendan Fraser and Tom Cruise, others are wary of another reboot. Only time will tell if this new film will live up to the franchise’s legacy.
The Mummy is set to hit the screens on July 19, 2025.
