While no further mention is made in The Mummy that explicitly ties the fort to its Jungle Book namesake in the narrative, some inferences can be made that allow the shared universe theory to work quite nicely. Beyond authorial intent, which could presumably be traced back to the shared factor of Sommers, the integral connection to the British military that both the character and the location possess is notable. Both Fort Brydon and Colonel Brydon were new inventions for their respective '90s movies and not present in any original stories, so the nod seems very intentional.

Both have also received more recent adaptations with Disney's 2016 The Jungle Book and Tom Cruise's poorly-received 2017 The Mummy, the latter of which was meant to initiate its own shared Dark Universe based on the beloved Universal Monsters movies. Having been involved in The Mummy's sequels and many of its Scorpion King spin-offs, Sommers's most recent work as a writer-director is the 2013 adaptation of Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas.Ä«efore the Sommers connection, both movies were based on existing, otherwise unrelated source material Universal Monsters' classic The Mummy from 1932, and Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories from the late 19th century. Stephen Sommers directed and had a hand in writing both films, which were released in 19, respectively. A recent bit of movie trivia posted has inspired a theory that The Jungle Book and The Mummy take place in the same world.
