With the imminent release of The Scorpion King, there have been rumors circulating as of late over the future of The Mummy franchise. Recently, producers on the franchise have made comments that would indicate that The Mummy 3 is a go, but what stars return is the real question.

Brendan Fraser and Arnold Vosloo have both expressed interest in continuing the franchise, while the leading lady, Rachel Weisz, has stated that she's not too thrilled about playing Evie again. While, on the other hand, if everything goes as planned and The Scorpion King performs up to expectations, The Rock has said that, with a nice bump in his pay, he'd gladly bring his character back for more swordplay.
