"THE MUMMY RETURNS grossed $431 million U.S. worldwide," MUMMY producer Sean Daniels was recently quoted in the Calgary Sun. "I'd say that's a pretty good indication audiences around the world want the adventure to continue."
He might be right about interest in a possible THE MUMMY 3, but at last check, many in the cast were reluctant to sign on to a third in Stephen Somers record smashing series. Brendan Fraser has given several answers when asked if he'd return, but co-star Rachel Weisz has said several times she's not up for a third go around.
But Daniels doesn't see a problem, yet. He says both Fraser, who played hero Rick O'Connell in the two previous flicks, has said he'd come back, as would villain Arnold Vosloo.
About Weisz, Daniels said, "Rachel hasn't said anything to us one way or another, because we haven't made any specific offers."
He also revealed the MUMMY prequel THE SCORPION KING staring Dwayne Johnson (known to you as The Rock) is keen on sequels to the prequel.
"One thing we know for certain is that we won't get him for $5 million this time," Daniels said. "We know The Rock is very much interested in future adventures of his Scorpion King character."
Here's wondering if audiences will be too.
