Trivia & production notes
- Stephen Sommers began developing The Mummy Returns within a day of Universal approaching him after the first film's opening weekend.
- The sequel was set in 1933, seven years after the original film, allowing Rick and Evelyn to be married with a son named Alex.
- Freddie Boath chose to audition for the role of Alex O'Connell instead of auditioning for Harry Potter.
- Dwayne Johnson was cast as the Scorpion King despite being new to acting, with Sommers valuing his natural charisma for the role.
- Rachel Weisz and Patricia Velasquez underwent extensive training in ancient Japanese martial arts to perform more physically demanding scenes.
- Principal photography took place across Morocco, Jordan, England, and London, with Erfoud in Morocco being reused from the first film.
- The Scorpion King's digital appearance became widely criticized for its awkward facial features and uncanny valley effect.
- Johnson's WWE commitments prevented detailed facial scans needed for the Scorpion King's CGI, resulting in an inaccurate digital representation.
- Alan Silvestri composed an entirely new score and did not reuse any of Jerry Goldsmith's themes from the original film.
- The original soundtrack was released by Decca Records on May 1, 2001, and a 2-CD expansion followed from Intrada Records in 2018.
