Rachel Weisz's role in The Mummy franchise
Weisz last portrayed Evelyn in 2001's The Mummy Returns. She did not return for 2008's The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, with Maria Bello taking over the role. The new film therefore marks Weisz's first appearance as Evelyn in the franchise in more than two decades.
Reportedly, the reason behind Rachel Weisz not returning to The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) is due to scheduling conflicts, newborn childcare demands and dissatisfaction with the script. Reports also noted that she was unhappy with how the character of Evelyn was written, specifically having to play the mother of a 21-year-old adult son when she was only 37 at the time. Weisz stated in interviews that she never actually got the chance to review or formally evaluate the final script before dropping out.
The upcoming movie also reunites Weisz with Brendan Fraser, who is returning as adventurer Rick O’Connell. The two actors previously appeared together in the first two Mummy films, and their return has become one of the central talking points surrounding the new instalment.
