And to dust you shall return.
The curse has awakened.
Just one month after the teaser sent horror fans into a frenzy, Warner Bros. Pictures has unveiled the official trailer for Lee Cronin’s The Mummy—a fierce, unsettling reinvention of one of cinema’s most iconic legends. From the daring mind behind Evil Dead Rise, writer-director Lee Cronin delivers a gripping new nightmare that feels both timeless and shockingly original.
Mark your calendars: the film opens internationally on April 15, 2026, and April 17, 2026 in North America, exclusively in cinemas and IMAX®.

A Bold Resurrection of a Horror Classic
Following the record-breaking success of Evil Dead Rise, Cronin now turns his attention to a myth that has haunted generations. But forget everything you thought you knew.
This is not a swashbuckling adventure. Nor is it a glossy retelling of ancient folklore. Instead, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is an emotionally charged horror story rooted in grief, desperation, and consequences too terrifying to comprehend.
Darkly atmospheric and intensely human, the film reimagines the legend through a lens that feels raw, modern, and disturbingly plausible.
Official Synopsis
The young daughter of a journalist vanishes into the desert without a trace.
Eight years later, the broken family is stunned when she is returned to them. What should have been a miraculous reunion quickly spirals into a living nightmare.
Because something ancient has followed her home.
A Powerful Ensemble Cast
Leading the film is a dynamic cast that brings emotional depth to the terror:
- Jack Reynor
- Laia Costa
- May Calamawy
- Natalie Grace
- Veronica Falcón
As fear tightens its grip and long-buried secrets begin to surface, each performance adds urgency and authenticity to the escalating horror.
A Horror Dream Team Behind the Scenes
Uniting some of the genre’s most influential names, the film is produced by James Wan, Jason Blum, and John Keville—a powerhouse trio synonymous with groundbreaking horror.
Behind the camera, Cronin collaborates with an accomplished creative team, including:
- Director of Photography: Dave Garbett
- Production Designer: Nick Bassett
- Editor: Bryan Shaw
- Costume Designer: Joanna Eatwell
- Composer: Stephen McKeon
- Casting Directors: Terri Taylor and Sarah Domeier Lindo
Together, they craft a cinematic experience that feels expansive yet claustrophobic, intimate yet epic—where every shadow hides something sinister.
A New Era for an Ancient Curse
Presented by New Line Cinema, Atomic Monster, and Blumhouse, in association with Wicked/Good Productions, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy signals a bold new chapter for a legendary property.
Distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film promises to deliver a visually stunning and emotionally powerful horror event that demands to be experienced on the biggest screen possible.
Some legends fade.
Others wait.
