*The* *Mummy* has never stayed dead.

The 1999 film, a loose remake of the 1932 Universal Monsters classic, spawned a decades-spanning franchise including sequels, a prequel, an animated TV show, and even a theme park ride. Now, with a fourth installment in the series in the works for 2027, it feels like the perfect time to check back in with the cast of the 1999 favorite that started it all.

Brendan Fraser became an Indiana Jones for the millennial generation with his turn as Rick O'Connell, a daring treasure hunter who discovers the City of the Dead while on an expedition. The film follows his journey back to the city three years later with a brother and sister duo, librarian Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) and thief Jonathan (John Hannah), with Evelyn accidentally awakening a mummified high priest. What follows is a swashbuckling adventure with just the right amount of scares to pay homage to the 1930s classic.

Ahead, in honor of the 27th anniversary of the film's release in theaters, find out what the cast of *The Mummy* has been up to since first battling Imhotep.

Brendan Fraser played the dashing hero Rick O’Connell, a treasure hunter and former Captain of the French Foreign Legion.

"We didn't know whether we were making a horror movie, we didn't know if this was an action picture, we didn't know if it was a romance picture,” Fraser told EW in 2019 during a 20-year retrospective. “All of the above? None of the above? We didn't know. We. Did. Not. Know.”

Following *The Mummy*, Fraser was bedeviled by Elizabeth Hurley’s Beelzebub in *Bedazzled *(2000), earned career-best reviews for the Vietnam drama *The Quiet American *(2002), and landed a role in the Best Picture-winning *Crash *(2005). Injuries from his years of stunt work required surgeries that curbed his action star status, but he found regular TV work in the late-2010s on *Trust *and *Doom Patrol.*

His road back to big-screen glory began in Steven Soderbergh’s heist movie *No Sudden Move *(2021) and led to his transformative role in *The Whale *(2022), which won him the Oscar for Best Actor. He followed this up with a memorable role in Martin Scorsese’s *Killers of the Flower Moon *(2023) and a starring turn in *Rental Family* (2025). He will reprise his role as Rick O'Donnell in the fourth *Mummy* film.

Fraser was married to actress Afton Smith, with whom he shares three sons, from 1998 to 2009. He has been in a relationship with makeup artist Jeanne Moore since 2022.

Rachel Weisz played bookworm-turned-mummy slayer Evelyn Carnahan. The English actress impressed for years on stage and across the arthouse circuit before grabbing the attention of Imhotep — and mainstream audiences — in *The Mummy*.

“It was the ’90s and a lot of the women's parts were not very interesting,” she told *Newsweek *in 2024. “[Evie] was just a very unusual female character. She was a librarian, and she was in the middle of this action movie. She was funny and kind of mischievous and honest.”

That role launched one of the most celebrated screen careers in modern history. Weisz showed off her range in everything from the rom-com *About a Boy *(2002) to the dark graphic novel adaptation *Constantine *(2005) before winning an Oscar for *The Constant Gardener *(2005).

The international star landed on Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos’ radar for his absurdist comedy *The Lobster *(2015); the two reunited for *The Favourite *(2018), where her acerbic performance landed her another Oscar nod.

No stranger to blockbusters with *The Bourne Legacy *(2012) and *Oz the Great and Powerful *(2013) on her résumé, Weisz joined the MCU for a role in *Black Widow *(2021).

On TV, she stepped into Jeremy Irons’ scrubs as identical twin gynecologists in the gender-swapped remake of *Dead Ringers *and starred alongside Leo Woodall in the Netflix limited series *Vladimir*. Weisz is slated to return for the 2027 *Mummy* film.

She and filmmaker Darren Aronofsky were engaged for several years and share a son, Henry. In 2011, she married Daniel Craig. The couple welcomed a daughter in 2018.

Scottish actor John Hannah was Evelyn’s troublemaking brother, Jonathan.

“I struggled a bit doing *The Mummy* at first,” he told EW in 2019. “I was like, ‘I don’t understand what I’m doing here!’ Brendan's the hero, and Kevin J. was doing the comedy stuff. I’m like, ‘Steve [Sommers, the director], what’s my function?’ He said, ‘Just mess around in the background, and if it’s funny, we’ll cover it.’”

Hannah starred alongside Denzel Washington in the biopic *The Hurricane *(1999) before reprising Jonathan in *The Mummy Returns *(2001)*. *In the years since, he’s found a consistent home on the small screen, playing key roles on *Spartacus*, *Damages*, and *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D*.

He guest-starred in the series premiere of HBO's *The Last of Us* and a season 6 episode of *Black Mirror*. He is set to join Fraser and Weisz in the fourth *Mummy* movie.

Hannah wed *Sliding Doors *(1998)* *costar Joanna Roth in 1996. They have two children.

Arnold Vosloo (Imhotep)

Arnold Vosloo was Imhotep, the cursed mummy who returns from the tomb in search of his lost love.

“They go, ‘All right, here's your wardrobe.’ It’s, like, a G-string. I liked my beers; I had a bit of a paunch — still do,” Vosloo told EW in 2019. “Steve told me afterwards that the wardrobe master said, ‘We’ve got a problem. We’ve got a fat Mummy!’ So in Morocco, I was just running and walking and eating whatever it is they make you eat to lose weight.”

After his defeat in *The Mummy *movies*, *he menaced *Agent Cody Banks *(2003), costarred with Leonardo DiCaprio in *Blood Diamond *(2006), and shored up his bad-guy bona fides as Cobra agent Zartan in *G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra *(2009) and its 2013 sequel. His TV work includes *24*, *Bosch*, and *Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan*.

Vosloo was married to actress Nancy Mulford from 1988 to 1991. He wed marketing director Silvia Ahi in 1998.

Kevin J. O’Connor played the disloyal thief Beni Gabor, whose greed gets the best of him.

As he told EW in 2019, making the film was its own adventure: “You'd see one little black cloud and you'd think, 'What is this?' This little black cloud would turn into a sandstorm that was blinding and threw the camera equipment around. It was insane… I chose to wear open-toed sandals for my character. After my first night, I realized how wrong I was. I would look down and see something moving in the sand.”

After getting eaten alive by scarabs in *The Mummy*, he served as the diabolical lab assistant Igor in Sommers’ *Van Helsing *(2004), then faced a different kind of monster in Paul Thomas Anderson’s *There Will Be Blood *(2007). He joined Patrick Swayze for his final performance in the series *The Beast *(2009) and reunited with Anderson for *The Master *(2012).

The Windy City native was a recurring player on *Chicago P.D. *as well as in the Stephen King miniseries *11.22.63*. He also popped up in *Widows *(2018), *Catch-22*, and the Kirsten Dunst-led series *On Becoming a God in Central Florida*.

Veteran screen presence Jonathan Hyde brought the film’s resident Egyptologist, Dr. Allen Chamberlain, to life.

Modern audiences may recognize him from Guillermo del Toro’s vampire series *The Strain*; he reunited with the genre maestro for the gothic chiller *Crimson Peak *(2015). Hyde also appeared, ironically enough, in *Doctor Jekyll *(2023) with Eddie Izzard, and guest-starred as the Duke of Norfolk in season 6 of *The Crown*.

Most recently, he had a small role in Brady Corbet's Oscar-winning historical drama *The Brutalist* (2024) and recurred on the British series *All Creatures Great & Small*.

Hyde wed opera singer Isobel Buchanan in 1980, and they have two children. Their daughter, Georgia King, is also an actor.

Oded Fehr played Ardeth Bay, leader of the sacred guards tasked with protecting the City of the Dead.

“We had no idea when we shot the first *Mummy *that it’s going to be what it ended up being...I heard Rachel going, ‘This is the end of my career,’” he said on *Popverse*'s* Mummy *cast reunion panel in 2023. “I was just happy to be there, you know… for me it was my first job.”

After *The Mummy Returns, *he faced off with the undead again in *Resident Evil: Apocalypse *(2004) and played the villain Zankou on *Charmed*. Fehr co-headlined Showtime's *Sleeper Cell* and landed roles on *NCIS*, *Once Upon a Time*, *The Blacklist*, and *Star Trek: Discovery*. The actor returned to the Final Frontier for the spinoff *Star Trek: Starfleet Academy* in 2026.

Fehr and Rhonda Tollefson have been married since 2000 and have three children.

Erick Avari plays Dr. Terence Bey, curator of the Cairo Museum of Antiquities.

A veteran of stage and screen*, *the actor mentioned on *Podcasting Them Softly* in 2015 that his role changed at the last minute: “I was originally cast in the role Jonathan Hyde played and Omar Sharif was set to play the curator, but two weeks before the shoot, they called to say Omar had emergency hip surgery and so they were bumping me up to the role of the curator.”

Avari played a human in Tim Burton’s *Planet of the Apes *(2001) and the billionaire businessman father of Jennifer Garner’s Elektra in *Daredevil *(2003).

He later settled into the small screen, booking parts on *Heroes*, *Days of Our Lives*, and *The Brink*. The actor has been mostly retired since appearing in the first season of the faith-based drama *The Chosen* in 2019, though he returned to the series in 2025 for its fifth season in a recurring capacity.

Avari and his wife, Margaret Walker, have been married since 1980.

Bernard Fox portrayed the overzealous fighter pilot Capt. Winston Havelock.

While Fox remains most noteworthy for his sitcom work, he also holds a unique big-screen distinction: He appeared in two films based on the sinking of the *Titanic*, both *A Night to Remember *(1958) and the ship’s eponymous 1997 blockbuster.

*The Mummy *was one of his last acting roles, but he went out with yet another bit of déjà vu, reprising his recurring character from *Bewitched* on the supernatural soap opera *Passions*.

Fox died of heart failure in 2016 at age 89. He and his wife, Jacqueline, were married for over 50 years and had two children.

Patricia Velásquez is Imhotep’s gold-painted lover, the Pharaoh's bride-to-be Anck-su-namun.

“It took almost 10 hours to get that makeup on,” she told Den of Geek in 2024. “I have four people drawing on my body, and then they had a special chair so I could sit and the paint would not smear… I had anywhere between two to four hours of retouching every day. It was tough.”

After an expanded role in *The Mummy Returns, *Velásquez showed off her comedic chops as Marta on *Arrested Development* and guested on *Rescue Me* and *The L Word*. The Venezuelan actress also appeared in the horror films *The Curse of La Llorona *(2019) and *Malignant *(2021).

Off-screen, she has been honored for her philanthropy, having created the Wayuu Taya Foundation to assist the indigenous Wayuu people of Venezuela and Colombia. The United Nations appointed her the UNESCO Artist for Peace in 2003.

Velásquez has a daughter, Maya, and is in a relationship with businesswoman Alison Lawton.
