After many years of absence, The Mummy – the classic brand that once shook the silver screen with dust, mummies and ancient magic – officially revived in the new blockbuster: THE MUMMY AWAKENS!. Scheduled to premiere globally at the end of 2025, the film promises to bring the audience back to the enchanting world of ancient Egypt, where the power of darkness never truly sleeps.
When the myths come to life
In The Mummy Awakens!, a team of modern archaeologists accidentally broke the seal of Iman-Ka, a cursed Pharaoh who betrayed the gods to gain immortality. When he rises, life, time and the souls of humanity are all threatened. The ancient nightmare spreads across the world – from the red sandstorms of Cairo to the living mummies that rise from the dead in modern cities.
Only one person can stop it: Evelyn Hawthorne, the last descendant of the clan that sealed Iman-Ka, and Jack Ryland, a former special forces soldier who accidentally gets caught up in the supernatural war.
A stellar cast
Florence Pugh – Evelyn Hawthorne: a brave, intelligent ancient linguist with a family mission.
Richard Madden – Jack Ryland: a soldier haunted by his past, now facing something more terrible than war.
Rami Malek – Pharaoh Iman-Ka: an immortal mummy, cold and dangerous, bent on dominating humanity with darkness.
Brendan Fraser – special cameo: Rick O’Connell appears to pass the “anti-mummy torch” to a new generation.
Highlights
Mysterious setting: Ancient Egypt is recreated with state-of-the-art CGI technology, combined with real sets in Morocco and Jordan.
Breathtaking action: Pyramid chases, flying ship battles, and mummies running through major cities.
Magic – Mythology – Science: The film delves deeper into the mysteries of the “Book of the Dead,” “sealed souls,” and lost ancient rituals.
A new chapter for the mummy legend
THE MUMMY AWAKENS! is more than just an action movie – it’s the rebirth of a cinematic legend, where past and present collide, where humans must choose between modern science and ancient beliefs.
Can Evelyn and Jack stop Iman-Ka before the world falls into eternal darkness? Or will the mummy once again ascend the throne – this time for all of humanity?
A new The Mummy film is in development and is scheduled for release on April 17, 2026. The film is written and directed by Lee Cronin (director of Evil Dead Rise), with Blumhouse Productions, Atomic Monster, and New Line Cinema producing. The main cast includes Jack Reynor and Laia Costa. This is the first time a The Mummy film has not been distributed by Universal Pictures, marking a new direction for the franchise.
Many trailer videos with titles such as The Mummy 4 (2025) or The Mummy Awakens have appeared on YouTube and social media platforms. However, these videos are often fan-made and do not reflect an actual film project.
The Mummy Awakens is not an officially confirmed movie for release in 2025. If you are a fan of The Mummy series, stay tuned for the new film directed by Lee Cronin, scheduled for release in April 2026.
