It’s been nearly a decade since we’ve had a giant mummy film, and that was when Common tried to relaunch its horror monsters by way of the Darkish Universe and its single entry, The Mummy. Since then, the studio’s centered on different monsters like Dracula and males of the invisible and wolf varities. However for those who’ve been wanting the mummified undead to make a cinematic return, Blumhouse could have your repair with a model new Mummy flick.
This new film will come courtesy of Lee Cronin, director-writer of final 12 months’s Evil Dead Rise. Within the brief press launch, Cronin teased his movie as “in contrast to any Mummy film you ever laid eyeballs on earlier than. I’m digging deep into the earth to lift one thing very historical and really horrifying.” The movie shall be co-produced by Cronin’s Doppelgängers firm, Jason Blum’s Blumhouse (which has Wolf Man arriving in just some weeks), and James Wan’s Atomic Monster banner, which has The Monkey and M3GAN 2.0 lined up for 2025.

Notably, this upcoming Mummy film isn’t from Common, who distributed the failed 2017 reboot and cult-beloved Brendan Fraser-led ones of the ’90s. As an alternative, this new movie is from New Line, which beforehand teamed with Cronin on Rise and labored with Atomic Monster on the Conjuring and up to date Mortal Kombat movies. Common’s launched some New Line motion pictures prior to now (often for worldwide audiences), however this seems to in any other case be in its personal world remoted from Common’s Mummy. Which… hopefully, they’ll discover a approach to convey that correctly so folks don’t get confused?
We’ll study extra about Lee Cronin’s The Mummy forward of its launch on April 17, 2026.
