The co-stars were all smiles filming a scene in London on Tuesday, 25 years after they last shared the screen in “The Mummy Returns,” in pictures obtained by Page Six.

The actress, who plays Evelyn Carnahan in the franchise, sported a belted maroon coat and a coordinating skirt, completing her look with black pumps and her curls pulled back.

As for Fraser, whose character is Rick O’Connell, he paired a green flannel under a corduroy jacket with dark denim jeans and boots.

The duo first played their respective roles in “The Mummy” in 1999 and both returned for the sequel two years later.

Carnahan and O’Connell, notably, fell in love in the first installment and were married with a child by the second.

While Fraser starred in “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” in 2008, Weisz did not take part in the project.

Instead, Maria Bello played the Golden Globe winner’s role.

Weisz explained to ES Magazine in 2008 that she was replaced due to a scheduling conflict, as the movie would have required five months in China when she was already signed onto another film.

News broke in November 2025 that she and Fraser were both in talks to return for “The Mummy 4” — and their participation was confirmed three months later.

In September, fans got the first look at Weisz and the “Whale” star on set, albeit separately.

The latter filmed scenes at a former military base in Suffolk, England, while Weisz was spotted hard at work in London.

In addition to Weisz and Fraser, original stars Oded Fehr, John Hannah and Kevin J. O’Connor are also returning, joined by new additions Michael Johnston and Numan Acar.
