Michael Johnston, best known for his role in the hit horror film ‘Obsession,’ is in early talks to join the upcoming sequel to ‘The Mummy,’ according to multiple reports. The actor would star alongside Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz in the new installment, which is being directed by the filmmaking duo Radio Silence. Johnston gained widespread recognition this year for his performance in the low-budget R-rated horror ‘Obsession,’ directed by Curry Barker, which became a box-office surprise. Prior to that, he played Corey Bryant in the TV series ‘Teen Wolf.’ The new ‘Mummy’ film, sometimes referred to as ‘The Mummy 4,’ marks a reunion for Fraser and Weisz, who starred in the original trilogy that began in 1999. Details about the plot and production timeline remain under wraps, but the project has generated significant buzz given the return of the original stars. Johnston's involvement is still in negotiation, and no official deal has been confirmed. The film is expected to continue the action-adventure horror tone of the earlier movies. Fans of both the franchise and Johnston's recent work are eagerly awaiting further announcements.
