Lee Cronin’s Mummy Reboot Faces Leak Fallout as Test-Screening Claims Are Disputed

A new report says a Warner Bros. representative disputes viral claims from early screenings.

Overview

  • Entertainment sites citing Feature First describe a much darker, gore-forward approach, including reports of a graphic insect-in-the-mouth sequence.
  • Earlier posts alleged poor test-screening reactions and said producer James Wan walked out midway through, but Feature First now reports a WB representative called those claims completely untrue.
  • A leaked synopsis outlines a family’s missing daughter returning years later, signaling a tonal shift away from past adventure-leaning iterations.
  • Leaked materials list Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, and Verónica Falcón among the cast, with Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, and Wicked/Good producing and New Line set to distribute.
  • Reports continue to cite an April 17, 2026 theatrical release, with some outlets also mentioning an unconfirmed retitle to The Resurrected.
