filmwad.com— Jet Li is in negotiations to play the mummy in the third installment in the popcorn action-adventure series The Mummy. The movie is set to be filmed and to take place in China.

You can almost assume that the Mummy will be doing martial arts. I like Jet Li and all, but he isn't THAT great of an actor (in the English language anyway). He'll be in this for his martial arts skillz. I guess I'll remain somewhat optimistic about this movie since I do kind of like Jet Li.
heh "Will Jet Li kick Brendan Fraser in the face with one of those patented over-his-own-shoulder kicks?" And the answer is, as always: "It depends on how hard you pray."
"Shouldn't mummies be in Africa, and shouldn't a mummy be a black guy probably?"AFAIK, the oldest known mummy is actually South/Latin American. Mummies were prevalent is many ancient cultures. It's just that the most well known ones are Egyptian.
Well there have actually been ancient remains found of White people in China. I saw it on Discovery Channel once. Can anyone help me find the reference?
I wouldn't doubt the Mummy series is trying to do a hierarchy of spin off series. Much like how the Egyptian mummy movies had Scorpion King, the Chinese mummy movies might have something like "the Dragon Emperor" with his own spin off movie. Then if somehow people still pay money for this, they'll make a 3rd series set in another culture with famous ancestries. It'll all sum up to a giant story line that can be franchised into toys, novelizations, graphic novelizations, mugs, and of course a TV series. (oh wait the mummy already did have all of the above.)
I loveee the Mummy movies...been in Egypt twice and visit the big museum...I've seen them..amazing!!!!!!anyway, I don't know why ppl criticize a movie without seeing it first?Wait t'il you see the preview, enjoy it or not!!!...taste are subjective !

Fearless was his last movie about the WuShu fighting style. Get your facts straight.

Not to mention the fact that Egyptians were not black so of course there would be no black mummies.
