Brendan Fraser is back in costume as Rick O’Connell as filming begins for The Mummy 4. Multiple outlets publish early set photos showing the actor on location while production captures what appears to be an action-oriented sequence.
The photos are reported to have been taken during filming in Suffolk, England. ComingSoon.net and others describe Fraser looking noticeably different from his earlier portrayal, while also emphasizing his return to the role of the adventuring character. Polygon similarly frames the images as an “official new look” tied to his character’s return, focusing on the visual details visible in the early footage. Metro also highlights Fraser’s return and presents the pictures as the first look at the next adventure.
Across the coverage, outlets agree the sequel is in production and that Fraser reprises Rick O’Connell, with differences mainly in how they describe his appearance and the tone of the initial photos rather than the core facts about filming and casting.
