Video of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Brendan Fraser's reunion from The Mummy Returns was posted online. The Rock made his feature picture debut with The Mummy Returns. In the action-adventure follow-up movie, he played Mathayus of Akkad/The Scorpion King, while Brendan Fraser returned as Rick O'Connell. The sequel to the 2002 action-adventure movie brought in $439 million at the box office. The Rock later played the starring role in the Mummy spin-off movie The Scorpion King. Since then, a lot has transpired, including Brendan Fraser winning an Oscar and The Rock becoming a Hollywood star. At the 2023 Oscars, The Rock served as a presenter. The two actors appeared in a variety of Journey to the Center of the Earth movies.

The Rock said in his post that he felt a “full circle moment” with his reunion with his The Mummy Returns co-star Brendan Fraser.

About a billion dollars have been produced at the box office by The Rock's films. Brendan Fraser hadn't received much attention during the previous ten years, but his appearance in The Whale has marked a significant return to the public eye. Backstage at the 2023 Oscars, The Rock commented on his reunion with Brendan Fraser, his co-star in The Mummy Returns. He claimed that Fraser "welcomed him with open arms" when he made his screen debut. One of Fraser's fans' favorite roles is from the Mummy films. In both his personal and professional life, Fraser has experienced many ups and downs, but his supporters have never ceased believing in him. The Rock is a popular action star now, but in the early 2000s, he was making the switch from professional wrestling to movies. It goes to show from Brendan Fraser and The Rock’s reunion long after The Mummy Returns, that kindness is memorable.
