The Mummy 4: Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz film in Tangier, Tetouan and Asilah

The Mummy is back, and it wakes up in Morocco. The fourth film in the saga, titled The Mummy: Book of the Dead, is filming in the north of the country at the end of October 2026, in Tangier, Tetouan and Asilah.

Tangier’s medina turned into a souk

Filming in the north is announced from 23 to 31 October 2026. In Tangier, cameras are due to roll on Monday 26 October, after several days of set building.

• Tangier: the Kasbah and Bab El Bhar squares, in the medina facing the port, have been dressed with stalls and shop signs to look like traditional souks.
• Tetouan and Asilah: the two other northern towns chosen for this Moroccan stage.

The film began shooting on 7 September 2026 in London before moving to Morocco.

More than 1,240 people on the ground

The crew counts more than 1,240 actors, technicians and production staff. Security services, auxiliary forces and Civil Protection are deployed around the locations.

More than 1,240 people in Tangier’s medina: Morocco is hosting one of the biggest shoots of the year.

Behind the camera are Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, the duo known as Radio Silence (Ready or Not, Abigail). The script is by David Coggeshall.
