The Mummy
Now that Brendan Fraser has announced his return to The Mummy franchise it is time to see what the rest of the cast think. Who should be number two on the list? Rachel Weisz of course!
Weisz Also Game for Third Mummy
One good thing about The Mummy announcement coming out now is that Rachel Weisz should be easy to get a hold of. Running around with The Fountain, the actress is bound to be asked some non-related movie questions by the press. One such question is obviously on The Mummy, a franchise that would definitely struggle or cease to exist without her return. Seriously, how can they explain the loss of Rick O'Connell's love interest and wife?
According to MovieHole, who got their latest dose of info from Ecran Large, Rachel Weisz is definitely interested in a return to her Mummy character; though she has yet to read any script for the third installment.
"I know there's a new script but I haven't read it yet. Nothing's definite yet and should the film be done, it's probably going to happen next summer. And if so, I would definitely like to be in it".
The only issue now is whether her newfound popularity will cause her to be too pricey for Universal Pictures. Or will she demand more screen time like Halle Berry did for X3? Either way, she will most definitely have more pull for the third installment.
