Jet Li

IGNFilmForce reports that while speaking at Chapman University in Orange, CA where “The Mummy 3″ director Rob Cohen did a Q&A after a screening of his film “Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story,” someone in the audience asked about casting in the next “Mummy” film under Universal Pictures. The site reports that Cohen revealed that Asian stars Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh will both be in “The Mummy 3.” Cohen also went on to reveal that the story takes place in China and that Jet Li will be the head Mummy in a group of Mummies. It was also confirmed that the movie producers are casting for Alex O’Connell character, who is now in his 20s in the story. Alex was previously portrayed as a 10 year old boy in “The Mummy Returns”. To be honest, I am quite surprised of this move. I would have never imagined Jet Li in “Mummy”, that is why I can’t wait to see the movie.
