During a preview to the exhibition of the Dragon Emperor is resurrected and flees the museum. His parents arrive unexpectedly in Shanghai and he is forced to explain what he has been doing. She escapes and Alex continues with the excavation of the tomb. He unmasks his attacker to reveal a young Chinese girl. Alex eventually finds the tomb but is attacked. Unknown to his parents, Alex has left college and gone to China on a dig searching for a lost tomb. In the third film, Alex had grown into a dashing and curious man, much like his father (he is also hinted at being a womanizer). He is able to speak and read Egyptian better than Jonathan, having been taught by Evelyn, and is able to use the Book of the Dead to resurrect her when she is killed by Anck-su-namun. He has a witty and bratty attitude, but is good-hearted and intelligent far beyond his years, a trait his parents never hesitate to acknowledge. He is captured by Imhotep's followers, and much of the film focuses on the attempts of his parents to rescue him. When he puts on the Bracelet of Anubis, it reveals to him the path to the pyramid of the Scorpion King. It is here that his parents discover the bracelet. Alex protects his parents from two potential attackers in a temple, before inadvertently causing its destruction. Throughout the second film, he is shown to have great intellect and bravery for a child of eight.

This makes her battle with Anck-su-namun personal, as they were also foes in their past lives.Īlexander "Alex" O'Connell ( Freddie Boath in The Mummy Returns and Luke Ford in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) is the son of Evie and Rick O'Connell. In The Mummy Returns it is revealed that she was, in her past life, an Egyptian princess, the daughter of the Pharaoh whom Imhotep and Anck-su-namun killed. The only evidence of this left in the film is in the line where Evelyn tells O'Connell that her father was a "very, very famous explorer". She and her brother were to be the children of the "cursed" Lord Carnarvon. In The Mummy, the character was originally meant to be Evelyn Carnarvon, the daughter of Lord Carnarvon, both present at the opening of Tutankhamen's tomb in November 1922. She mentions that her and her brother's mother was Egyptian, making her half-Egyptian, half-English. However, as the first film progresses he slowly gains her trust and they eventually fall in love. In the first part of the film she thinks Rick is "filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel.

Evie shows little fighting skill but much bravery, such as when she attempts to shoot a Medjai with Rick's gun, and fights Anck-su-namun. While he dies, he returns to his original undead form as a rotting corpse with his final parting words, which Evie translates as "Death is only the beginning". Upon being rescued, she reads a page from the book of Amun-Ra, rendering Imhotep mortal. Imhotep wants to use her body as a vessel to resurrect his long-dead lover, Anck-su-namun, and he takes Evie captive. This unintentionally resurrects the titular mummy, Imhotep. When some Americans find the Book of the Dead, which was purported to give eternal life, Evie steals the book from the sleeping American Egyptologist and reads a page of it. She, along with Rick and her brother Jonathan, travels to the lost city of Hamunaptra, where she hopes to find a rare, ancient book, the book of Amun-Ra. He is an American adventurer, highly decorated veteran of WW1 ( Knight of Legion of Honor, Médaille Militaire, Croix de Guerre) a former Captain of the French Foreign Legion.Įvelyn Carnahan ( Rachel Weisz in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns and Maria Bello in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) - also known as Evie - is a clever but clumsy Egyptologist in the Cairo Museum of Antiquities. Richard "Rick" O'Connell ( Brendan Fraser) is the main character in The Mummy films.
