Ready or Not 2: Here I Come directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler
Gillett will be at the helm of the new adventure, reuniting original stars Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. Other than this, we've got absolutely no
idea about the finer details. Plot, other cast members and release date are all huge unknowns at this stage, though we can hope for a 2027 release if all goes to plan (fingers crossed).

Without giving anything away, they gave me a first taste of what to expect from the "very special" legacy sequel... and frankly, it sounds bonkers. The Mummy 4 promises 'very special' sequel, according to directors The Mummy Official Trailer #1 - Brendan Fraser Movie (1999) HD - YouTube Watch On "We're gonna step, step
into The Mummy world," Bettinelli-Olpin tells me about their plans for the forseeable future. "I think that's what is likely next for us... we're supposed to start prepping on that soon.

Gillett adds, "We are so excited to get to bring our very unique genre sensibility to a sweeping action-adventure love story. It always has been,
but is the story is becoming something very heartful and very special, and we're really excited to bring it to life."

If you know anything about the pair's work, you'll know this is likely to
mean something unhinged. Watch either of the Ready or Not movies, standalone horror movie Abigail or the last two Scream movies, and you'll know that they are creators who throw everything and the kitchen sink at their work.

In fact, as I say to them, they're also just as likely to grab someone else's sink and throw that in there, too. Every component moves at a million miles a minute, and each scene is more zany and erratic than the last.

So what does this mean for The Mummy 4 ? The original movies were always
known for their quirkiness, and with so many tools and advances tech at their disposal, the sky is truly the limit.

Honestly, it all makes me hopeful. A legacy sequel is incredibly tricky to pull off, but with the right blend of uniqueness, understanding and freshness (which these two have in excess), it's a good thing coming.
