Actress Michelle Yeoh has been confirmed to star in the third episode of The Mummy series, which is going to be called, Mummy: Curse of the Dragon.

Michelle Yeoh will play a wizard in the third mummy film, in which Kungfu star Jet Li plays the bad guy, the mummy. In this episode, the mummy is China's first Emperor of Qin, a shape-shifting entity who was cursed by the wizard centuries ago. However, the wizard will try her best to defeat the mummy and his mummy troops, who were unearthed by a father and son.

The pair once collaborated in the Kung Fu movie The Tai Chi Master, so the latest cooperation between Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li is being eagerly anticipated as both of them are known for their martial art abilities.

The film will start shooting on July 27, and later it will come to China to shoot in Xi'an's Terra Cotta Warriors museum. It's the first Hollywood production that has been allowed to shoot in the museum.

The movie is due to open to the public in July, 2008.
