Where Is Evelyn From The Mummy Now?

Rachel Weisz won an Academy Award not long after "The Mummy Returns" for her performance in the 2005 adaptation of John Le Carré's "The Constant Gardener." The film centers on Ralph Fiennes' Justin Quayle, who tries to solve the murder of his wife. Weisz plays the ill-fated wife, Tessa, an Amnesty activist in Kenya. "The movie is a progress back into her life," wrote Roger Ebert, "and a journey of discovery for Justin, who discovers a woman he never really knew."

Weisz also has had some brief dalliances with other blockbuster franchises post-"Mummy." The same year she starred in "The Constant Gardener," she made a foray into comic book adaptations with the cult favorite "Constantine." She'd go on to star in "The Bourne Legacy," opposite Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton, before doing her time in the MCU, playing Melina Vostokoff in "Black Widow" in 2021. Vostokoff is something of a mother figure to Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff and Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova. As of yet, there's been no word if Vostokoff will return to the MCU, but there's little doubt fans would adore seeing her again.

While Wiesz's experience with blockbusters is extensive, her most notable work of late has been in more indie fare. Despite being married to a man (specifically Daniel Craig, a.k.a. James Bond), Weisz has become what Vice called "the Unofficial Straight LGBTQ Ambassador," and it's her work in the indie drama sphere that has earned her that title.
