Jet Li confirmed as the villain
The oft-rumoured Jet Li is indeed part of the “Mummy 3” cast, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Li will play the villain of the film, alongside returning heroes Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.
Plot details of the script, written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, are being kept under wraps. However, it is known that the action is set in China, with Li’s story beginning in ancient times before moving to a post-World War II setting. It is also known that one sequence involves the famous terra-cotta warriors, the collection of 6,000 men and their horses that were originally constructed to protect the tomb of an emperor.
Stephen Sommers and Bob Ducsay along with Sean Daniel and Jim Jacks are producing.
“The Mummy 3” will be released by Universal in 2008.
