Michael Johnston has officially broken his silence regarding rampant speculation that he is set to battle ancient forces in the highly anticipated blockbuster The Mummy 4. If the casting is locked in, he will share the silver screen with original franchise heavyweights Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and fan-favorite John Hannah. The filmmakers are famously known for their blood-soaked, R-rated horror hits like Ready or Not and Scream, making their takeover of a traditionally PG-13 action franchise a fascinating creative shift. He added: "I've been thinking about how they're gonna take the classic Mummy story and put that spin on it and kind of subvert expectations. Its highly successful 2001 follow-up, The Mummy Returns, performed even better, raking in $436.5 million globally against a $98 million budget.
