"The Mummy" (PG-13) 1:50
Tom Cruise is a mercenary who accidentally unleashes the mummy on the world after he discovers the tomb of an ancient princess who'd been buried alive.
She's played by Algerian minx Sofia Boutella, who you'd remember as Jaylah in "Star Trek Beyond". Annabelle Wallis from "The Tudors" is an archeological expert Cruise turns to, and Jake Johnson from "New Girl" is also in it as a fellow mercenary.
It's the first of Universal's new Dark Universe movies, which will rework classic monster movies into an interconnected cinematic universe like Marvel did with their superheroes. Russell Crowe is like the Samuel L. Jackson of the Dark Universe. He's the leader of a secret society dedicated to dealing with supernatural threats. He's also Dr. Jekyll.
This universe will later include Johnny Depp as the Invisible Man, and Javier Bardem as Frankenstein's monster. And the next movie is "The Bride of Frankenstein" in 2019.
