Director Russell Mulcahy will be at the helm for THE SCORPION KING 2 for Universal Pictures as reported by Shock Till You Drop. Mulcahy is best known for RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION and a few previous mummy-related flicks. No word yet if The Rock will reprise his role or if they are bringing a new actor onboard to fill the Rock’s mighty shoes.

While THE SCORPION KING received mild interest during its 2002 release, it did take home a decent amount of money at the box office. It seemed inevitable a sequel would be on the horizon, however, this may be a straight-to-DVD release.
