The Mummy, directed by Alex Kurtzman, features a screenplay by Jon Spaihts and Christopher McQuarrie. From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy aims to brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills to its imaginative new take that will usher in the Dark Universe’s new world of gods and monsters.

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.
