The Mummy will also need Ahmanet to be a compelling villain; it appears that there is a good chance of that.
The reboot of The Mummy is sure to feature plenty of eye-popping visual effects and action scenes, but its ultimate success will come down to telling a good story.
Reports coming out of CinemaCon say Tom Cruise addressed the audience by video, describing the film as a “bold, romantic, epic, terrifying monster film.”
Despite the presence of action stars like Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe and what appears to be visually impressive set pieces, The Mummy is still a monster franchise at heart.
