Lee Cronin’s The Mummy Teaser Trailer Previews Unsettling Horror Movie

Blumhouse and Warner Bros. have officially released the first teaser trailer for Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, previewing the Evil Dead Rise director’s unsettling take on mummies. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy will release on April 17, 2026.

“The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace—eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare,” reads the official synopsis of the film.

What happens in Lee Cronin’s The Mummy teaser trailer?

The trailer doesn’t reveal too much about the movie, but it does highlight someone photographing what looks to be a mummy inside a tomb. The trailer is also cut with various scenes showing a family and a girl, named Katie, before the trailer ends with the titular mummy awakening as something crawls out of her mouth.

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy will star Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, Verónica Falcón, May Calamawy, May Elghety, Natalie Grace, Shylo Molina, Billie Roy, and Hayat Kamille.

It’s important to note that this movie is not related in any way to Universal’s The Mummy franchise, despite early reports misconstruing the two. Cronin, who is best known for directing 2023’s Evil Dead Rise, told IGN that the upcoming movie is “a very different kind of mummy movie,” and that he views the film as a mix between two horror classics.

“It’s an insane mashup to suggest, but [this film is] almost one part Poltergeist and one part Seven, but put through my lens and the way that I like to entertain people,” teased Cronin.
