Headline: Daniel Craig Shaken and Stirred As Rachel Weisz Mummy Comeback Sparks Marriage Fears!
Subheading: Sources say the former James Bond is battling major separation anxiety as his wife considers a blockbuster return that could mean months apart. Is their famously private marriage about to face its biggest test yet?
Hollywood December 22 – Hold onto your martinis, you guys, because the Tinseltown tea is piping hot today! We’re hearing that one of Hollywood’s most solid and intensely private power couples, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz, might be facing a Spectre of their own. And no, it’s not a supervillain. The culprit? A potential blockbuster comeback that has fans screaming but her husband seriously worried.
Sources close to the couple are exclusively telling us that Daniel Craig is having major anxieties over the increasing buzz that his wife, the incredible Rachel Weisz, might be reprising her iconic role as Evelyn Carnahan in a new installment of The Mummy franchise.
While the rest of us are literally grabbing our torches and digging for the Book of the Dead in excitement, the former 007 is reportedly less than thrilled. An insider spills that Craig is worried a high-stakes, globe-trotting franchise shoot could put an unbearable strain on their super-private, carefully guarded marriage.
“Daniel is incredibly supportive of Rachel’s career, he always has been,” our source whispers. “But this is different. He knows firsthand what it’s like to be the center of a massive, demanding franchise. He lived and breathed James Bond for 15 years. He knows the grueling schedules, the months away from home, the immense pressure, and the complete lack of a normal life.”
Get this: The fear isn’t about trust. This isn't a story about on-set drama. It’s about pure separation anxiety. The couple, who secretly tied the knot in 2011 and share a young daughter, have built their life around prioritizing family and togetherness. They are famous for avoiding the Hollywood scene and creating a quiet bubble for themselves and their children. A Mummy comeback would completely shatter that.
Think about it. A movie like The Mummy isn't filmed in a backlot for a few weeks. It involves months of pre-production, followed by a six-to-eight month shoot in exotic and often remote locations like Morocco, Jordan, or the Sahara Desert. That’s a long time to be on opposite sides of the world, especially with a young child at home.
“He’s basically retired from that kind of life,” the pal adds. “He hung up the tuxedo and is enjoying a slower pace, being a dad and a husband. The thought of Rachel gearing up to do exactly what he just spent years trying to escape from is causing him a lot of stress. He’s worried about being a single parent for the better part of a year and the emotional distance it could create between them.”
This news comes at a pivotal time for both actors. Daniel Craig successfully closed his chapter as James Bond with No Time to Die and has since found critical acclaim and a much more manageable schedule with the Knives Out series. He’s done his time in the blockbuster trenches.
Meanwhile, Rachel Weisz is having a major career moment. After winning an Oscar and building an incredible resume of powerful dramatic roles, the nostalgia-fueled demand for her return to The Mummy is at an all-time high, especially with the recent “Brenaissance” of her former co-star Brendan Fraser. A Mummy comeback wouldn’t just be a role; it would be a cultural event, catapulting her back to the top of the A-list action-adventure genre. It’s an offer that would be incredibly hard to refuse.
So, the ultimate question is: Can this notoriously strong Hollywood couple survive the curse of the franchise? They’ve always been the exception to the rule, a couple who puts their relationship before the red carpet. But the siren song of a legacy sequel is powerful, and the paychecks are even more so.
Will Rachel Weisz step back into Evy’s boots and risk straining her marriage to Daniel Craig? Or will his fears be enough to keep one of our favorite cinematic heroines buried in the past? We’re watching this one closely, because the fate of our favorite on-screen librarian—and one of our favorite real-life Hollywood marriages—hangs in the balance.
