'Obsession' Star Michael Johnston Officially Joins 'The Mummy 4' Cast

After insider Jeff Sneider revealed that Michael Johnston, Bear from Obsession, would be part of the cast of The Mummy 4, the actor himself confirmed the news.

On social media, Johnston shared a screenshot of the report and joked in the caption: "The secret is out of the sarcophagus", officially confirming his involvement in the sequel.

We still do not know who Johnson will play; however, it is very likely that he will portray Alex O'Connell, the son of Evelyn and Rick O'Connell, who was played by Freddie Boath in The Mummy Returns and later by Luke Ford in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
