It looks like we could be in for a real treat come next June when Universal Pictures welcomes us back to a new world of Gods and Monsters with the arrival of The Mummy, which will serve as the first chapter in the reimagining of Universal's classic Monster movie verse.
The trailer was released just moments ago featuring Tom Cruise taking action against one of the greatest terrors the Earth has ever known. It starts out with Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, Courtney B. Vance, and several other soldiers airlifting a sarcophagus out of Egypt, which seems to be going well until they're interrupted by a legion of crows that promptly take down their plane. Cruise manages to save Wallis' character, via parachute, but all hope seems to be lost for him...
It then takes us threw a handful of exciting action beats before ending with a confrontation between Cruise's character Nick and Russell Crowe's mysterious Dr. Jekyll, who introduces the titular villainess and also seems to have his own hidden agenda.
Check out the brand new teaser trailer below:
Plus, here are thirteen thrilling new hi-resolution stills:
Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy.
Thought safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.
From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.
