Egyptian actress Tara Emad has joined the cast of Universal’s ‘The Mummy: Book of the Dead’, which is currently filming ahead of an October 15th, 2027 cinema release.

Emad’s role has not yet been disclosed, though she is reportedly considered one of the film’s leads. Her previous credits include ‘Diamond Dust’, the Arabic adaptation of ‘Suits’ and ‘The Blue Elephant 2’, in which she appeared as a mermaid.

The film reunites Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as Rick and Evelyn O’Connell, with John Hannah returning as Jonathan Carnahan, Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay and Kevin J. O’Connor as Beni Gabor. Michael Johnston and Numan Acar have also joined the cast.

Plot and character details remain under wraps. Fraser has previously spoken about preparing to reprise the role of Rick O’Connell.

‘The Mummy: Book of the Dead’ is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett from a screenplay by David Coggeshall.
