We finally know when The Mummy franchise will reawaken.

Universal Pictures has officially added the next installment of the adventure franchise to its release calendar, giving the film a theatrical release date of May 19, 2028.

The upcoming sequel will be helmed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who previously directed the fifth and sixth Scream movies as well as Ready or Not and its upcoming sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.

The script will be written by David Coggeshall, who penned Orphan: First Kill and the Family Plan films.

"The Mummy 4", which has yet to receive an official title, will see Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz return to play Rick and Evelyn O'Connell.

The duo first starred together in 1999's The Mummy and reprised their roles in 2001's The Mummy Returns. Fraser came back for a third installment, 2008's The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, but Weisz did not join him. In her absence, Maria Bello played Evelyn.
