Maria Bello is replacing Rachel Weisz as Evie in the upcoming Mummy film (which is set in Asia). She kept changing her mind as to whether or not she wanted to do the third movie and finally, Universal just moved on without her.
As for the Mummy III movie, I have my reservations due to the choice of directors (Rob Cohen). I'm not a fan of his work at all. And while I liked "The Mummy", the "Mummy II" felt rushed and contrived.
That's unfortunately what happens when you have a huge hit and the studio wants an immediate sequel.
