When he's not writing, Anthony can be found at Brands Hatch race track or at home watching indie horror movies nobody has heard of.
The Mummy also cemented Fraser as an action star of the era. O'Connell is rugged and charming, and quickly became one of Fraser's most beloved characters. Another reason The Mummy 4. For many fans, though, nothing can compare to the originals, and only a rewatch will suffice. Fortunately for those audiences, the original The Mummy trilogy is currently available to stream for free.
The Mummy Movies Are (Mostly) Still Worth Watching Today
We've already covered why the original The Mummy is so beloved and retains a massive fanbase today. It remains a classic more than two decades later and still holds up remarkably well. Many fans would agree that the 1999 movie is the best in the trilogy, though 2001's The Mummy Returns marks a triumphant return for much of the original cast. Fraser and Evelyn are still incredible together on screen, and the title offers a fantasy adventure in a similar vein to the original, albeit with more exotic locations.
The final movie of the trilogy, What To Expect From The Mummy 4
However, one major draw for fans of the originals is that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are reprising their roles as Rick and Evelyn O'Connell. Time will tell if they retain the same infectious on-screen chemistry as before, but many fans are already elated at the thought of seeing them together again. Hannah is also confirmed to play Johnathan again, and Oded Fehr returns as the Medjai warrior Ardeth Bay.
