1932's The Mummy is a cinematic classic that's been periodically brought back to life by Universal Pictures. The first series ran through 1955, with a second reboot following in 1959, with a third series hitting theaters in 1999, with Brendan Fraser in the lead role.
Now, Universal has brought the series back once again, for an ambitious new cinematic universe that will include all of the classic monsters in the studio's back catalog, this time starring Tom Cruise. Here's all the news, updates, and trailers for latest reboot.
