The first trailer for The Mummy reboot is finally here, after over three years of waiting since the movie’s initial announcement.
This is following Universal Pictures making an announcement that it is working on a cinematic universe based on classic Hollywood monster franchises; which means that we could also be seeing reboots of movies like Dracula, The Wolfman, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, and Van Helsing down the line. There are plans for a crossover feature too, but that’s quite far off for now.
The story for the reboot basically follows a group of archeologists who accidentally awaken an evil spirit; but unlike the previous films this time the mummy is the ancient queen; Ahmanet. She awakens after thousands of years to take revenge, after being denied of her rightful destiny.
The movie stars Sofia Boutella as Ahmanet, Tom Cruise as Nick Morton. one of the archaeologists tasked with returning Ahmanet to her tomb. The movie is directed by Alex Kurtzman and is set to hit theaters 9 June 2017.
