John Hannah, who portrayed Jonathan Carnahan, the bumbling brother of Rachel Weisz's Evelyn, will return for the fourth entry of the beloved The Mummy franchise.
Hannah will reunite with Brendan Fraser and Weisz, who are reprising their iconic roles as Rick and Evelyn O'Connell.
Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who are better known as Radio Silence, are directing the upcoming installment from a script by David Coggeshall, the writer of “The Family Plan.”
Radio Silence is behind the “Ready or Not” films and also helped revitalize the “Scream” franchise with 2022’s “Scream” and 2023’s “Scream VI.”
Universal Pictures is backing the film, which will hit theaters on May 19, 2028. Plot details are, for lack of a better phrase, being kept under wraps.
Hannah’s film credits include “Sliding Doors,” “Another Mother’s Son” and “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” for which he was nominated for a BAFTA.
On television, he has recently appeared in season 6 of “Black Mirror,” Netflix’s “The Decameron” and HBO’s “The Last of Us.”
Hannah recently finished shooting on the feature film “Bedlam” with Peter Serafinowicz and Scott Adkins and also features in the 2026 British comedy “The Incomer” alongside Domhnall Gleeson.
He will next star in the six-part comedy-drama “Death in Benidorm.”
Executive Vice President of Production Development Jay Polidoro and Director of Production Development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the production of “The Mummy” for Universal.
