Evelyn Carnahan in “The Mummy”
In the 1999 film “The Mummy” actress Rachel Weisz played leading lady Evelyn Carnahan. She reprised her role in the 2001 sequel “The Mummy Returns,” but was replaced by actress Maria Bello in the 2008 film “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.” Rumors have circulated around why Weisz left the project and it may have been because of personal issues with the script of the third film.
