Lee Cronin’s mysterious, no-plot-announced The Mummy is building up quite a cast. Last month, The Peripheral’s Jack Reynor was announced as the film’s lead; he was soon joined by Laia Costa, who is probably playing the wife of Reynor’s character. The Hollywood Reporter said that “it is understood that Costa and Reynor are playing a married couple, who along with their daughter, cross paths with mummy dearest.”
Plot details are still entombed. However, Deadline reports that three more actors have joined the film, including one who’s previously spent some (fictional) time with the mystical and/or undead. Moon Knight’s May Calamawy (pictured above, and also recently seen in GladIIator) has signed on, along with May Elghety and Veronica Falcón.
For Falcón, this is a return to the land of Blumhouse, which is one of the studios behind The Mummy; she also starred in Imaginary. She’s also been in everything from Ozark to Perry Mason to Jungle Cruise. May Elghety has largely worked in Egyptian film and TV, and provided one of the voices for Disney Plus’s Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire.
The Mummy is writer-director Cronin’s followup to Evil Dead Rise, which Leah Schnelbach called “a delightful update to the series.” It’s in production now, so in a year or so we’ll see what he brings to a different kind of undead situation.[end-mark]
