Looking to launch its linked Monsters Universe with a big splash, Universal has Tom Cruise starring in a fresh reboot of The Mummy. The new trailer for the movie offers big supernatural action and few fresh footage glimpses.
Cruise here is Nick Morton, who, along with buddy Sgt. Vail (Jake Johnson), uses his military background to go hunting for relics. But their latest (accidental) discovery will prove to be something quite different... And much more dangerous.
When the pair uncovers the tomb – or rather, prison – of Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella), a princess whose destiny was snatched from her, and whose burning drive for revenge has led her to seize some very worrying powers, they unleash something truly terrifying. With the help of World Heritage's Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis) and Russell Crowe's Dr. Henry Jekyll, Nick will have to stop Ahmanet wreaking havoc. Even if it means a terrible sacrifice.
Alex Kurtzman, one of the architects of the new shared cinematic universe, directs here from a script that has seen work by Jon Spaihts and regular Cruise go-to Christopher McQuarrie. The Mummy will be released on 9 June.
