In a sneak peek at the movie from SyFy Wire, Tom Cruise described Sofia Boutella as the perfect casting to play the “inspiring and seductive” female mummy.
The trailers may paint a picture of a furious woman scorned, but Sofia Boutella suggests that her character is powerful yet eerily calm.
In the video for SyFy Wire she described the Princess as “a warrior” and a “survivor“.
It was important to me that this character had a backstory, you know?
