‘The Mummy’ Reboot Adds May Calamawy and More as Production Progresses

Lee Cronin's reimagining of the classic franchise introduces culturally authentic casting and a fresh horror-driven vision, with filming underway in Ireland and Spain.

May Calamawy, Veronica Falcón, and May Elghety have joined the cast of Lee Cronin's reboot of 'The Mummy,' bringing cultural authenticity to the project.
Production is actively taking place in Ireland and Spain, with Jack Reynor and Laia Costa also confirmed in leading roles.
The reboot, produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster for New Line Cinema, is the first in the franchise's history not distributed by Universal Pictures.
Director Lee Cronin aims to deliver a 'very ancient and very frightening' take on the story, distancing the film from previous adaptations.
The theatrical release is scheduled for April 17, 2026, as the franchise seeks to recover from the widely criticized 2017 reboot.
