Rachel Weisz performs stunt while filming new Mummy movie in London

Rachel Weisz performed a rope stunt while filming The Mummy: Book of the Dead in west London.

She is returning as Evelyn O'Connell, the character she played in the first two Mummy films.

Brendan Fraser is back as adventurer Rick O'Connell, reuniting with Weisz on screen.

The pair last appeared together in the franchise in 2001, and their new film marks their first joint appearance in 25 years.

The story is understood to follow the first two films, rather than the 2008 third instalment, which featured Maria Bello as Evelyn.

Filming has included period costumes, and the new film is set in the late 1950s.

Plot details remain under wraps.
