The Mummy Stars Reunite After 26 Years Of Film, Fans Say ‘Make The Mummy 3 Real'
The Mummy star cast - Brendan Fraser, Patricia Velasquez, John Hannah and Oded Fehr reunited after 26 years from the film's release.
The Mummy film, released in 1999, was one of the highest-ranked movies of the year. Directed by Stephen Sommers, the action thriller was a striking update of the 1932 classic film that was able to garner immense praise, leading to a few other sequels. Despite this, the star cast of the 1999 movie has etched a special place in the hearts of their fans. So much so that the reunion of a few of them after 26 years of the film's release left viewers in complete nostalgia.
Brendan Fraser, Patricia Velasquez, John Hannah and Oded Fehr from the stellar cast of The Mummy recently reunited at the final day of the 2025 Fan Expo Denver, on July 6, nearly three decades after the film's release. They not only posed shoulder-to-shoulder but also radiated pure happiness in the glimpses. Unfortunately, Rachel Weisz and Arnold Vosloo were missing from the photo-op for the action thriller's reunion.
The photographs have been bringing waves to social media ever since they surfaced. Reacting to it, one nostalgic fan said, 'Oh I love this so much!!! The Mummy was EVERYTHING to me as a kid lol. I watched them over and over and over again. Ancient Egypt is still one of my favorite time periods bc of The Mummy!" adding, 'The first two Mummy films are still some of the absolute very best historical adventure films too, in my opinion. Just top notch. Nothing but fun all around from beginning to end."
Another person added, 'Omg The Mummy is my favourite movie. I wish Rachel and Arnold could have made it. Maybe for the 30th?" A fan even raved about how Fehr's evergreen looks, writing, 'Man, Oded's locks are still gorgeous!."

An intrigued fan added, 'They should make the real The Mummy 3!"
The hit film also had two sequels — The Mummy Returns in 2001 and the Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008. Also, The Mummy reboot starring Tom Cruise also hit the screens in 2017 but failed to make such an impact amongst the viewers. At the event, Fraser opened up about his honest opinion on why Cruise's 2017 version flopped at the box office.
'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…" adding, '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."
In the 1999 film, Brendan Fraser appeared as Rick O'Connell, followed by Patricia Velásquez as Anck-Su-Namun, John Hannah as Jonathan Carnahan, Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay, Rachel Weisz as Evelyn Carnahan and Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep a.k.a. The Mummy.
