Irish writer-director Lee Cronin's next film will be a reboot of the iconic horror The Mummy, it has been announced.
The film will arrive in cinemas on 17 April 2026.
"This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I'm digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening," said Cronin, who made his Hollywood debut with Evil Dead Rise.
The Dubliner is teaming up with filmmakers Jason Blum and James Wan's recently combined production companies, Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, for the project.
The film is part of Cronin's first-look deal with the Warner Bros-owned New Line Cinema. His own production company, Doppelgängers, is also among the producers.
Cronin's Evil Dead Rise has grossed nearly $150 million worldwide. He made his big-screen debut in 2019 with the acclaimed Irish horror The Hole in the Ground.
