The Mummy (2017)

Plot:

“The Mummy” follows the story of Nick Morton, played by Tom Cruise, a soldier of fortune who accidentally awakens an ancient Egyptian princess named Ahmanet, portrayed by Sofia Boutella. Ahmanet’s powers were suppressed for thousands of years, and she is now on a quest for revenge against humanity for the fate she suffered.

As Ahmanet rises in power and unleashes her supernatural abilities, Nick finds himself embroiled in a battle against evil forces. With the help of Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis), an archaeologist, and Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe), the leader of an organization known as Prodigium, Nick must stop Ahmanet’s plans to unleash darkness upon the world.

Cast:

• Tom Cruise as Nick Morton
• Sofia Boutella as Princess Ahmanet / The Mummy
• Annabelle Wallis as Jenny Halsey
• Russell Crowe as Dr. Henry Jekyll / Mr. Edward Hyde
• Jake Johnson as Sgt. Chris Vail
• Courtney B. Vance as Colonel Greenway

Reception:

“The Mummy” received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. While some praised the action sequences and performances, others criticized the plot and execution. The film performed modestly at the box office, but it did not achieve the level of success the studio had anticipated.

Sequel and Universe:

“The Mummy” was intended to be the first installment of Universal Pictures’ Dark Universe, a shared cinematic universe featuring classic monster characters. However, due to the underwhelming reception of “The Mummy,” the future of the Dark Universe was uncertain. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, no further movies in the Dark Universe have been released.
