However, she starred in two other films around the same time, which casts a bit of doubt on that theory. Some other reports at the time of The Mummy 3's release suggested that Weisz backed out of the film due to her having a very young son at the time, and not wanting to be away from him for an extended period. Universal denied these reports at the time, but Weisz kept silent. Other reports suggested that Weisz just didn't like the script, and felt it did a disservice to the Evie character, making her not want to return to the role. It wasn't very flattering, as Cohen suggested Weisz balked at the idea of playing a character with an adult son, as Evie and Rick's son was being aged up for the film. One explanation for Rachel Weisz's exit from the Evie role in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was given by the sequel's director, Rob Cohen. Why Rachel Weisz Didn't Return for The Mummy 3 Here's a look at all of them, including what Weisz herself says. Over the years, several different stories have circulated as to why Weisz opted not to reprise her role for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, with the part ultimately being taken over by Maria Bello.

She'll also soon join the Marvel Cinematic Universe via Phase 4's long-awaited Black Widow solo movie.
It's not that she's become averse to starring in popcorn blockbusters either, as her career since leaving The Mummy behind has seen a healthy mix of mainstream projects and prestige dramas. She's since gone on to win an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA for her work, and become one of the most recognizable actresses around. That came as a big surprise to many people at the time, since playing Evie in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns is what launched Weisz's career from mostly unknown into the Hollywood A-list. Actress Rachel Weisz didn't return to play adventurer Rick O'Connell's equally capable wife Evie in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
