A New THE MUMMY Film by Lee Cronin, Atomic Monster, and Blumhouse Will Arrive in 2026

The Mummy will apparently rise from the dead for another round. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lee Cronin, Atomic Monster, and Blumhouse are teaming up for a new horror depiction of The Mummy. There are pretty much no details about this project, but it is set for an April 17, 2026 release date. That means it will likely be later this year before we hear anything about plot details, casting, and other tidbits of information about this The Mummy reboot… or is it a reimagining or something else altogether? Who knows.

Cronin, who is known for his work on Evil Dead Rise, had this to say to The Hollywood Reporter in a statement that said the following, “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.”

Blumhouse and Cronin also posted about their upcoming The Mummy movie in a rather vague yet ominous post on Instagram. It features the front page of a screenplay with Cronin’s name on it along with Atomic Monster and Blumhouse with a caption that says “Something terrifying will be unleashed in 2026.” 

This is all quite intriguing, so let’s see where it goes.
