She further said that she adored it as well. The same is true for her. They had no clue when they were producing it whether or not it would work out. Adding that she admires and respects everyone who she has worked with in ‘The Mummy’. The actress who plays Evelyn in the series left the franchise after the 2008 release of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor; Maria Bello was cast in her place.
Fraser stated in October that he would be up for playing the same part again if given the chance. Fraser also discussed the reasons why he believed the Mummy remake of 2017 starring Tom Cruise failed to receive commercial success. He spoke about how making that movie had been challenging since the fun element of “The Mummy” was missing in its remake. The new seemed to be a straight-up horror movie which he believed took away from its excitement.
