John Hannah is returning to the “Mummy” franchise – and he’s not the only one.
“You’ve heard all the rumors and it’s true. Everyone’s back,” he told journalists at Monte-Carlo Television Festival.
The fourth installment will be directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, known for “Ready or Not” or “Scream.” While the participation of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz was already announced, “there will be some surprises,” assured Hannah.
“Arnold [Vosloo], who I’m still big pals with, and my other favorite: Kevin J. O’Connor. He’s a fantastic actor. Funnily enough, we went to this convention recently and this guy came up to us. He was wearing a mask. He asked if Kevin J. O’Connor was there as well, I said no, and then he took off his mask. It was Kevin,” he said.
“I gave Brendan a shout out, he came over and everybody was hugging Kevin. Later, he joined us on the panel. Kevin had kind of fallen off the path a little bit; he’d gone home to look after his father towards the end of his life. But then we found him again. Brendan had sort of whispered in my ear previously about the potential of this happening and it wasn’t long after that that official contact was made.”
