Horror fans, prepare for a spine-chilling resurrection! Director Lee Cronin, fresh off the success of EVIL DEAD RISE, is set to breathe new life into the mummy genre with an unexpected reimagining of THE MUMMY. Jack Reynor, known for his memorable performances in THE PERFECT COUPLE and MIDSOMMAR, will lead the cast in this soon-to-be-unleashed supernatural thriller.
Cronin promises something truly unique, declaring that this iteration will be “unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before.” The film represents a collaboration between horror powerhouses Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Productions, with New Line Cinema backing the project. Set to begin production in Ireland and Spain, the movie is scheduled to crawl into theaters on April 17, 2026.
While plot details remain carefully guarded, initial information suggests Reynor will portray a husband and father confronting supernaturally sinister forces. The project distinctly separates itself from Universal’s classic horror properties, offering a fresh and potentially more grounded approach to the ancient undead narrative.
The creative team behind the film is equally exciting. James Wan will produce alongside Jason Blum and John Keville, with Cronin’s own Doppelgängers production banner joining the effort. This collaboration signals a potentially innovative take on a genre that has seen numerous iterations over the decades.
Interestingly, this project arrives amid a broader trend of reimagining classic horror properties. Blumhouse has already successfully reinvented THE INVISIBLE MAN, and Atomic Monster is developing a modernized CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. Cronin’s THE MUMMY appears poised to continue this tradition of breathing contemporary terror into timeless mythological concepts.
As anticipation builds, horror enthusiasts can mark their calendars for what promises to be a groundbreaking addition to the mummy genre. With Cronin’s track record and the combined creative forces of Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, this THE MUMMY looks set to offer something both familiar and startlingly original.
