🎬 The Mummy: Resurrection (2025) – First Trailer Review: Ancient Evil Rises Again
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
After years of silence, The Mummy franchise storms back to life with The Mummy: Resurrection (2025)—and the first trailer is a thrilling, action-packed return to the supernatural adventure we’ve been craving. Directed by Alex Kurtzman, this reboot/sequel fuses mythology, horror, and blockbuster spectacle into a modern-day resurrection of the beloved series.
Brendan Fraser makes his long-awaited return as Rick O’Connell, now older, wiser, and haunted by the past. When a rogue expedition unleashes a new and far more ancient evil than Imhotep—an undead high priestess known as Ankana, the Queen of Shadows—Rick is called out of hiding to stop a force that threatens to plunge the world into eternal darkness.
The trailer is a masterclass in buildup: from torch-lit tombs and cursed relics to massive sandstorms engulfing modern cities. Rachel Weisz reprises her role as Evelyn in a surprise reveal, and their chemistry is as electric as ever. Joining the cast is Florence Pugh as a brilliant Egyptologist with secrets of her own, and Oscar Isaac as a mercenary with a dark connection to the curse.
Packed with high-stakes action sequences, the trailer teases everything fans love—booby-trapped temples, ancient scrolls, undead warriors rising from desert graves, and of course, the iconic face-in-the-sand moment (yes, it’s back—with a twist).
The visuals are stunning, blending practical effects with sleek CGI, and the tone walks a perfect line between horror, humor, and heart—true to the franchise’s roots. The haunting score echoes themes from the original trilogy, sending chills of nostalgia through every frame.
If the trailer is any indication, The Mummy: Resurrection is not just a comeback—it’s a rebirth. Bigger stakes, darker magic, and the return of the O’Connells? Count us in.
