Alex O'Connell

Alexander "Alex" O'Connell is a fictional character from the 2001 film The Mummy Returns and its sequel, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

The Mummy Returns
Rick and Evelyn are now married and have a son, named Alex, who is eight years old. He puts on the Bracelet of Anubis, and therefore must be inside the Golden Pyramid before the sun rises on the 7th day after putting on the bracelet. He is successful in this, by the help of his father, Rick O'Connell, who carried him into the pyramid as it was draining his energy.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Alex O'Connell is now twenty-one years old, and extremely headstrong. He has dropped out of college, and is on a dig in China, to find the tomb of the Dragon Emperor. He is successful in finding the tomb, but is nearly killed by a strange attacker, who we subsequently find out is a young Chinese woman named Lin, who has been guarding the Emperor's tomb from archeologists like Alex. He has a strained relationship with both of his parents, but with his father especially. They all meet unexpectedly in China, where Alex is because of his dig, and where his parents, Evy and Rick, come to see Jonathan, Alex's uncle, and where his parents are taking the Eye of Shangri-La to the Shanghai Museum. When the Emperor is awakened, Alex, his parents, his uncle, and Lin, must find a way to kill the Emperor. Alex also takes a shine to Lin, who initially fights their attraction, because of a secret she is hiding.
