What do you do to revitalize an archaeological adventure series that's coming out in the same summer as a new Indiana Jones movie? Add the sheer awesomeness of Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh to the mix, and you get The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - the third installment in Brendan Fraser's Mummy saga.
Young Alex O'Connell (Luke Ford), who was nine years old in 2001's The Mummy Returns, is now a young man and a dashing archaeologist in his own right, but he gets tricked into helping to resurrect an evil Han Emperor (Jet Li) after 200 years of imprisonment at the hands of a sorceress (Michelle Yeoh). Before the evil monarch can enact his plan to enslave humanity though, Alex will need to call on his parents, Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evelyn (Maria Bello stepping into Rachel Weisz's shoes), and their combined experience to help him out of this jam. Also returning is John Hannah as Evelyn's amusing brother Jonathan. From there, the swashbuckling fun of The Mummy series returns.
Watch the trailer for the original The Mummy, starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.
