Forgotten about mummies? Prepare for a terrifying return! Universal Studios is resurrecting the ancient Egyptian evil franchise, and this time, Li Cronin—the director of the famous horror film "Evil Dead Rise"—is taking charge. He'll not only write the script but also direct the new film, promising to create something truly scary and unique.
The project is shaping up to be something exciting: Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, the masterminds behind films like "The Nun," "M3GAN," "Get Out," and "Insidious," will also be working on it. The entire horror genre is now in the hands of true professionals.
So, what can we expect? While the plot details remain under wraps, Li Cronin has promised the film will be unlike any previous Mummy movie: "I am diving deep into the earth’s depths to resurrect something ancient and truly horrifying," said the director. With promises like that, it’s hard not to be excited.
Let's not forget the last attempt to reboot the franchise in 2017 with Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella. The film failed to meet expectations, receiving poor reviews and not achieving high box office results. This flop led to the cancellation of the entire "Dark Universe" concept that Universal had planned.
But now, the Mummy has a chance for a new life, and we can’t wait to see what Cronin has in store. The premiere of the new film is scheduled for April 17, 2026. Relax, don’t rush to the graves—mummies are coming back!
