But you just don’t replace an actress on a well-established franchise. I even liked her short stint on ER as Dr. I liked her as the no-nonsense bar owner on Coyote Ugly and as Mel Gibson’s girlfriend in Payback. Variety announced that Maria Bello will replace Weisz as Evie. But apparently, no one at the studio is listening to me. If a female lead is needed, a love interest for Alex could always be added. Her absence could be explained early on and it would leave the door open for Weisz to return in a later movie. Besides I liked what we saw of Alex O’Connell in The Mummy Returns and am interested in how he grew up.Ī father-son adventure would allow the franchise to continue without Weisz. What better way to extend the life of a franchise with an aging action hero than to give him a son that’ll carry on the adventure? In fact, I believe Indiana Jones is trying the same technique for its fourth installment.
I liked the idea of a father-son adventure. I actually had no problem with this news. We already knew that Rachel Weisz, who played the role of Evie in the first two films, would not be joining the cast of Mummy 3 due to scheduling conflicts. My hopes were dashed with the news that studio has decided to recast the role of Evie O’Connell. Up until now, I had been hopeful that the latest installment in The Mummy franchise would be able to pull off another good, if not great, movie with Mummy 3: Curse of the Dragon.
