The Mummy 4 set for Oct. 15, 2027

Universal has moved its new Mummy film to October 15, 2027, pulling the sequel forward from May 19, 2028. (variety.com) Variety reported on April 24 that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are attached to star in the film, reviving the franchise Universal launched with 1999’s *The Mummy*. (variety.com) The calendar change came as Universal pushed *Miami Vice ’85*, starring Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler, from August 6, 2027 to May 19, 2028. (variety.com) (yahoo.com) Universal’s own franchise page still lists *The Mummy Franchise* for May 19, 2028, suggesting the studio site had not fully caught up with the trade-reported date swap as of this weekend. (universalpictures.com) That matters because the October 2027 date is the first concrete scheduling update since reports in November 2025 said Universal was developing a new Fraser-Weisz sequel with Radio Silence directing. (screenrant.com) (livenowfox.com) Those earlier reports identified Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the Radio Silence filmmakers behind *Scream VI*, as the directing team, with David Coggeshall writing the script. (screenrant.com) (cbr.com) No official cast list beyond Fraser and Weisz was confirmed in the trade report on the date move, and the current reporting reviewed here does not substantiate claims that Isabella Merced or John Hannah are officially set. (variety.com) (universalpictures.com) The franchise has been dormant in theaters since 2008’s *The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor*, and Universal’s separate 2017 Tom Cruise-led *The Mummy* was part of the abandoned Dark Universe launch. (screenrant.com) (movieweb.com) For now, the clearest takeaway is narrower than the online chatter: Universal has shifted the new *Mummy* movie to October 15, 2027, and the rest of the package is still coming into focus.
