Could Anck-Su-Namun Return? Patricia Velasquez Says Yes on The Wayne Ayers Podcast

Patricia Velasquez, the trailblazing actress and supermodel, is ready to step back into her iconic role as Anck-Su-Namun, the deadly and seductive ancient Egyptian priestess from The Mummy franchise. In her recent appearance on The Wayne Ayers Podcast, Velasquez revealed that she’s open to reprising the role that catapulted her into global stardom.

Fans of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns will remember Velasquez’s captivating portrayal of the fearless and ambitious warrior who played a pivotal role in the franchise’s gripping supernatural saga. With its blend of action, romance, and horror, the franchise remains a fan favorite, and Velasquez is clearly ready for a revival.

Behind the Scenes of The Mummy

During the interview, Velasquez delved into behind-the-scenes stories from The Mummy films, recounting the intense audition process, grueling action scenes, and the deep camaraderie with her co-stars. She recalled the physical demands of the role, including elaborate fight choreography and the painstaking detail required to bring Anck-Su-Namun to life—from her gold body paint to the precise movements that made her character so memorable.

A Trailblazing Career

Velasquez’s career extends far beyond The Mummy. As the world’s first Latina supermodel, she walked for iconic brands like Chanel, Gucci, and Versace, breaking barriers in the fashion industry. She also transitioned seamlessly into acting, earning acclaim for socially conscious films like Maya and the upcoming No Address, which tackles the pressing issue of homelessness.

In the podcast, she discussed how her modeling career prepared her for the rigor of Hollywood and how she’s leveraged her platform for advocacy work, including her role as a Goodwill Ambassador for Indigenous Rights and the founder of the Wayúu Tayá Foundation, which supports Indigenous communities in her native Venezuela.

What’s Next?

While there’s no official word on a Mummy reboot or spin-off featuring Anck-Su-Namun, Velasquez’s enthusiasm has certainly sparked excitement among fans. With Hollywood’s growing trend of revisiting beloved franchises, the prospect of seeing Velasquez don the gold body paint once more doesn’t seem far-fetched.

In the meantime, listeners can catch her on The Wayne Ayers Podcast for an engaging conversation that covers her career, advocacy work, and a fun rapid-fire segment where she shares secret talents, and karaoke favorites, and even pitches her idea for a new holiday.

For fans of fashion, film, and inspiring stories, Patricia Velasquez’s episode is a must-listen. And for those still under the spell of Anck-Su-Namun, the wait for her return might just be worth it.
