The Mummy Lead Reveals Surprising Silence on Potential Fourth Film

So apparently there’s been some noise about a new 'The Mummy' movie happening, and fans are already picking out their favorite parts of the internet to argue over if the OG cast will show up. Oded Fehr—the guy who played everyone’s favorite Medjai warrior, Ardeth Bay, in the 1999 and 2001 movies—finally set the record straight about what’s actually going on with his involvement. Or, more accurately, what isn’t going on.

Oded Fehr On 'The Mummy 4': Spoiler, No One Has Called Him

Let’s get straight to it: Fehr hasn’t gotten so much as a text, carrier pigeon, or cryptic ancient scroll from Universal or anyone connected to 'The Mummy 4'. This is despite months (years?) of speculation online suggesting this movie is basically a Foregone Hollywood Conclusion.

'I gotta tell you, man, I’m so excited that you’re excited. I haven’t been contacted. I don’t know anything about it.'

That’s what Fehr said in a recent Screen Rant interview. The short version? He’s thrilled people still care and would love to jump back in if the movie actually becomes real. But as it stands, he’s reading about it on the internet like the rest of us.

Fehr went on to clarify (probably for the millionth time in his career) that he hasn’t heard a word about any sequel, and he honestly doesn’t know if 'The Mummy 4' is actually happening. It hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from treating it like it’s already in production, though.

The Franchise That Launched His Career

While we’re talking nostalgia, Fehr did admit that 'The Mummy' movies are a huge reason he has a career at all. He said the franchise made him 'a working actor,' and he genuinely enjoyed working with the original cast. He’s caught up with a few of them over the years and, yeah, he’d love to team up again if he actually gets the call.

So, What’s Actually Happening With 'The Mummy 4'?

• Back in November 2023, reports popped up (again) about a new installment being in early development.
• Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett—better known for their work on modern horror reboots—are rumored to be directing.
• That’s basically all we know. Seriously. No official info about the cast. No solid production timeline. None of the original stars have confirmed anything beyond 'sounds fun!'

To sum it up: fans are speculating, the internet is running wild, and, as far as Oded Fehr’s involvement goes, it’s radio silence. Maybe Universal is secretly assembling some kind of all-star casting master plan, or maybe this is just another case of Hollywood development limbo.

If you’re expecting any inside dirt on Ardeth Bay’s next big adventure, don’t hold your breath. Or do—but don’t blame Oded Fehr when you pass out waiting for actual news.
