'The Mummy 4' Gets Its Official Title and Confirms Imhotep's Return

The Mummy 4, which will bring back Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz as Rick O'Connell and Eve Carnahan, has finally received its official title and logo. Check it out below.

The film will be called The Mummy: Book of the Dead, taking its name from the book that contained ancient spells and enchantments that could resurrect the dead and summon warriors from the past. Imhotep used the artifact to try to bring his beloved Anck Su Namun back to life, and this may indicate the villain's return to the franchise.
