The New Mummy Has Plans for Tom Cruise (Trailer)

The Universal Monsters Cinematic Universe begins this summer with The Mummy and the new trailer is here.  Tom Cruise stars as Nick Morton, who along with archaeologist Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis), explore a previously undiscovered Egyptian tomb that seems to actually be some sort of prison holding the mummy of Princess Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella).  Ignoring the lengths the ancients went to hide her, they attempt to bring her back to London but her powers cause their plane to crash and Nick is killed but brought back for some unknown purpose by Ahmanet in her plan to take control of the world.  To kickstart the Monsters Universe, Russell Crowe will show up as Dr. Jekyll and Jake Johnson and Courtney B. Vance co-star as well.  Alex Kurtzman makes his directorial debut after writing and producing stuff like Star Trek, Fringe, Transformers and Sleepy Hollow and it’s out on June 9th.  Check out the new trailer below.
