I have tried to Spoiler out everything from Mummy 3 if you haven't seen it but be warned.
'The Mummy 4' Will Probably Be a Thing
Aug 5 2008
More: Adventure, Brendan Fraser, Movie, News, Rob Cohen, The Mummy 4
Is critical lambasting and moderate attendance by bored audiences who already saw Batman considered "reponding well"? Because if it is, director Rob Cohen warns there will be a fourth Mummy, and that would be terrible. From MTV (Mummy 3 spoiler alert!):
Then again, I have an opening in 2015 for watching something terrible on TBS at 3 in the morning, so ^^^^ it, let's make this thing. Skateboard Mummy Seal of Indifferent Approval: granted.

Brendan Frasier as an immortal hero up against an immortal villain is just one of many ideas “Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” director Rob Cohen wants to explore in another installment of the blockbuster series, he told MTV News, insisting that a fourth installment is all but guaranteed if audiences respond well to “Mummy 3.”
“Rick, because he was treated by the pool of eternal life, Rick is now immortal. I’d love to explore how that plays out for him,” Cohen said. “Another spoiler, Jonathan [John Hannah] winds up with the artifact in this film and he doesn’t realize, nor do we, what its powers are. In my mind, that artifact still has a lot of prizes in it, the eye of Shangri La, this big diamond.”
Alright, so a mummy-based Highlander does sound like kind of a fantastic idea, but I don't think it's worth it if the trade off is having to imagine Brendan Frasier as an immortal. It would make me too sad to think of him, the last survivor of our long-dead society, his final wisps of hair drifting to the ground as he outlasts the glue affixing them, quietly chuckling to himself as he remembers a particular scene from Monkeybone. And besides, we all know it would be, like Mummy 3, very bad.
