Overview
- The studio released a teaser, poster and stills confirming the title Lee Cronin’s The Mummy and a New Line/Warner Bros. theatrical release on April 17, 2026.
- The official logline follows a journalist’s young daughter who vanishes in the desert and reappears eight years later as a family reunion turns into a nightmare.
- Cronin frames the film as “one part Poltergeist and one part Seven,” with the teaser emphasizing domestic dread, investigative mystery and unsettling mummification imagery.
- Blumhouse and Atomic Monster are producing and co-financing for New Line, with producers James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville; the cast includes Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Verónica Falcón and Natalie Grace.
- A Morse‑code message warns of ancient dark forces and ends with “Today it begins,” while the reveal counters prior chatter about a retitle and disputed negative test-screening claims and distinguishes this project from Universal’s separate Mummy films.
