Universal finally gave us a brief teaser for the upcoming Universal Monster movie reboot, The Mummy.  Starring Tom Cruise, Sofie Boutella, and Russell Crowe, this movie is definitely leaving the comedic approach behind and going full Mission Impossible.

To be fair, this is a 15 second teaser so we don’t get much by way of plot, the full trailer will release Sunday.  At that point we will get a clearer glimpse of everything.  Although, based on the description below, Tom Cruise is going full action hero which is what he’s done best for several years now.  No reason to think The Mummy will be any different.  Not to mention Sofie Boutella, playing the actual mummy, is no slouch herself when it comes to action.  Cruise vs Mummy, fight!

The Mummy marks the first installment in the shared Universal Monsters cinematic universe.  If this does well, expect movies for Wolfman, Invisible Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Van Helming, and Frankenstein.  Universal tried to kick off their shared universe with Dracula Untold but that didn’t do as well as planned so The Mummy is their mulligan.

Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy.

Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.

From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.

Cruise is joined by a cast including Annabelle Wallis (upcoming King Arthur, television’s Peaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (TV’s American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson) and Oscar® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator).

The Mummy hits theaters June 9, 2017.  Check out the poster below the teaser.
