The Tom Cruise starrer will feature an ancient female mummy bent on global destruction. The movie shall also have some of the best special effects to portray a true and realistic depiction of the ‘Mummy’ scenario.
At Tom Cruise’s Age, it shall indeed be a challenge to portray the role, but fans are already waiting in anticipation with their fingers crossed!

The Mummy shall be a fresh new take on The Universal Studios franchise. Cruise will be playing the role of a military leader who fights to stop the Mummy (Sofia Boutella) from destroying London. The only known story line is that the movie shall be an action-adventure movie with horror elements.

It was also revealed that classic thrillers like The Wolf Man, The Invisible Man, Abraham van Helsing, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and even the Bride of Frankenstein are already in the making.
In The Mummy, Russell Crowe will be playing the part of the famous Dr. Jekyll, who is a part of a group that hunts for mythical monsters.
Director Alex Kurtzman also spoke about the new additions to Universal. “The team behind Monsters intends to establish characters independently, in more or less standalone films, before throwing them altogether.
Which is to say that instead of jumping right into the Monsters equivalent of Batman v Superman and Justice League, we’re getting The Wolf Man and Van Helsing.”
