>“The Mummy” may be based on Universal’s classic movie monster IP, but Sofia Boutella’s take on the character has a feminist bent.
>“She’s princess who has been promised to become Pharaoh,” Boutella said of the incident that inspires her rage in the Tom Cruise film, during a Q&A at CinemaCon 2017.
>“Playing a monster was really interesting to me, but also the fact that the mummy was a woman. Whenever something happens, there’s always a monster within us,” Boutella said.
>Universal unveiled additional footage from The Mummy reboot at CinemaCon today. Tom Cruise was not in attendance, but introduced the new trailer via video, saying the film is a “bold, romantic, epic, terrifying monster film.” And judging by the reactions to the new footage, terrifying is a good adjective to describe it. Early reports talk of scenes of destruction and mayhem, and include one terrifying sequence in which Tom Cruise is “drowning in rats,” as well as Boutella’s mummy being buried alive. All of the footage released promises an emphasis on the horror elements of the franchise.
>“She’s princess who has been promised to become Pharaoh,”

It opens with Cruise's character running from explosions, with one uncovering an underground Egyptian ruin. Cut to The Mummy back in ancient Egypt and being buried alive as punishment for murdering the king.
"You are alive because you were chosen," says Jekyll, with the trailer revealing Cruise's character is the instrument by which the Mummy will return.
Earlier, Universal also showed off a sizzle reel of its classic monster movies. Kurtzman spoke about honoring the past and looking forward to the future, calling those movies "an incredible legacy."
"To be able to stand in the shadows of those giants … it was an incredible experience. Amazing. And having Tom Cruise in the movie, doesn't hurt," he said.
The film is set to launch a cinematic universe for Universal, with Crowe's Dr. Jekyll potentially playing a role similar to Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Javier Bardem is on board for a future Frankenstein film, while Johnny Depp has signed on for The Invisible Man.
