Of course, Alex Kurtzman’s 2017 film is not the first time Universal has attempted to reboot The Mummy franchise for contemporary audiences.
Fans going to see The Mummy this weekend will be treated to a special Easter egg from the 1999 film of the same name.
The first attempt took place back in 1999, starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.
While Universal’s new Mummy has no direct narrative connections to Fraser’s Mummy series, an interesting Easter egg reference has been uncovered that suggests that both stories might actually take place in the same universe.
