The Mummy Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

If it’s a day ending in “y,” someone out there is still talking about The Mummy, and my slightly-cursed podcasting pantry is stocked full of immortal sand, social media snark, and existential dread. Yes, folks, today’s episode of Biography Flash is shambling out of its sarcophagus and straight into your feeds, because the big dust swirl around The Mummy refuses to settle — despite being several thousand years old, and, much like my social life, chronically under-rested.

Here’s the hot bandage-wrapped bulletin for The Mummy this week: The past 24 hours were seismic, with FandomWire reporting that The Mummy 4, yes, the one with Brendan Fraser and not Tom Cruise’s weirdly-vacuum-sealed version, may finally be lurching into production. The director says the wait is almost over, and if true, this is the resurrection everyone’s been thirsting for—except maybe Imhotep himself, who’s had enough comebacks to make Cher jealous.

Meanwhile, Twitter — or X, or whatever we’re pretending to call that glitchy tech sarcophagus — spent Saturday chewing over a set photo leak, possibly real, possibly a Photoshop fever dream, showing Fraser’s Rick O’Connell holding up a “Bring Back Rachel” sign. Fans, who have the collective patience of a tomb guardian and the gossip appetite of... well, me at an all-you-can-eat buffet, immediately reignited the eternal debate: Why wasn’t Rachel Weisz in The Mummy 3? According to CBR, rumors range from the script being duller than ancient papyrus to Weisz just dodging another CGI sandstorm in favor of, you know, artistic integrity. The third film recast her with Maria Bello, which — no shade, Maria — was the cinematic equivalent of swapping a mystical artifact for a broken flashlight.

People are also using #MummyReturns to propose new casting choices, including one bold soul suggesting Nicolas Cage as the next Imhotep. Listen, if that movie ever happens, I’ll eat my own podcasting microphone. You have it on record.

In biographical terms, these new rumors aren’t just a career afterlife update for The Mummy — they could be a cultural revival spell rivaling anything Anubis cooked up. Will the legacy of The Mummy be more than nostalgia-fueled necromancy? Can a reboot with Fraser (and hopefully Weisz) stake a claim in a world obsessed with reanimated franchises? Only time, and perhaps a few more curse-laden tweets, will tell.

That’s it for this dispatch from the dark netherworld of popcorn mythology. Hit subscribe so you never miss an undead update on The Mummy — and hunt for “Biography Flash” wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for listening, and remember: in the podcast tomb, no one can hear you scream.
