10 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies

4. The Mummy

Release Date: 9 June

Taking inspiration from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Universal have brought in Chris Morgan (Furious 7) and Alex Kurtzman (Transformers) to reimagine their old monster films as action spectacles for the comic book crowd, with Johnny Depp set to play The Invisible Man and Javier Bardem slated to appear as Frankenstein’s Monster.

In The Mummy, Tom Cruise plays Nick Morton, who in the trailer appears to die when his military jet crashes, but in the next shot he’s shown sitting up on a slab in the morgue, very much alive. Could the sarcophagus he was transporting have something to do with that, or is there more to the character than meets the eye?

Russell Crowe plays Dr Henry Jekyll, but this incarnation of the character is as far removed from the source material as it’s possible to get. The voice of Prodigium, a SHIELD-like organization, Jekyll seems to be the shared universe’s Nick Fury, bringing superheroes together to fight evil.

Will all be revealed or is the movie one big tease? Find out on June 9.
