Filming for the third installment began last June under the direction of Marwan Hamed, based on a screenplay by writer Ahmed Mourad. Karim Abdel Aziz reprises his role as "Dr. Yehia Rashed"—a character audiences have followed since the franchise began—amid widespread anticipation regarding the plot details of his latest journey.
Cast and Crew Prepare for European Shoot
The cast and crew of The Blue Elephant 3 are finalizing travel arrangements to Europe to shoot several external scenes. The production plan relies on transitioning between multiple distinct locations to match the narrative's visual tone and new developments.
Travel preparations for the European leg were built into the film's schedule as part of the directors' vision to deliver a fresh visual style and leverage new settings that serve the story.
Filming hours are expected to increase in the coming period to complete scenes requiring specialized set configurations before moving the project into post-production ahead of its theatrical release.
Nelly Karim Begins Filming Her Scenes
Alongside Karim Abdel Aziz, The Blue Elephant 3 stars Nelly Karim, Dina El Sherbiny, and Nour El Nabawy, alongside a featured ensemble cast. The film is written by Ahmed Mourad and directed by Marwan Hamed.
Nelly Karim has already begun shooting her scenes for the new installment. In previous statements, she noted that the third part differs significantly from its two predecessors and features several unexpected narrative turns.
Karim Abdel Aziz Returns as "Yehia Rashed"
The third part follows the commercial success of the first two films, which established the franchise as a prominent fixture in modern Egyptian cinema centered on the protagonist psychiatrist Dr. Yehia Rashed.
The first film followed Dr. Yehia as he encountered a series of mysterious paranormal events. The story expanded further in the second installment, which introduced new plotlines and set up the continuation of his arc into a third chapter.
The Blue Elephant 3 will continue building on the established universe while introducing new character arcs, storylines, and locations.
Release Date
The Blue Elephant 3 is scheduled for release in theaters during the Summer 2027 cinema season.
