Rob Cohen planning 'Mummy 4'

Rob Cohen has revealed that he is keen to helm a fourth movie in the Mummy franchise.

The director said he was inspired by the success of current instalment The Mummy: The Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor, which is set in Asia.

He told MTV News that the new film may take place in Mexico or Peru, saying: “The Aztec culture had a lot of mummies and some of their mummy designs for the Foundation Army were taken from Mexican mummies that they have found. So I think that somehow that might make the basis of a good story.”

Cohen also hinted at the direction a new movie could take, suggesting that Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) may return as an immortal hero after being treated by the pool of eternal life in Dragon Emperor.
