Biography Flash: The Mummy's Revenge - 2025 Reboot Rumors, Cast Reunions & Undead Wine

The Mummy Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Alright folks, welcome back to The Mummy Biography Flash, where we dig up the latest—and occasionally dustiest—news on the most bandaged fictional figure in history. Yes, today we’re talking about The Mummy, who frankly has a hotter news cycle in 2025 than half the real politicians I’ve tried to interview and three-quarters of my relatives at Thanksgiving.

Let’s start with the big, headline-grabbing stuff. The Brendan Fraser Mummy cast reunion at Fan Expo Denver has fans absolutely losing their linen, with photos circulating everywhere—Instagram, Twitter, even my uncle’s Facebook page, which is 98 percent expired memes and conspiracy theories. Why’s this matter? Because it means the nostalgia factor here is so strong you can practically hear the soundtrack of 1999 pulsing through the internet. Fraser himself grabbed the mic and threw shade in the classiest way possible at the Tom Cruise reboot, reminding the world—and apparently Universal—that the secret mummy sauce is fun. None of that grim, self-serious undead business. Fraser told the Fan Expo crowd you’ve got to bring the joy or you’ll end up with, well, another Dark Universe casualty. Sorry Tom, you deserved better. According to Popverse, there’s even chatter about getting the OG cast back for one more ride, but as always, Hollywood rumors age about as well as a three-thousand-year-old bandage.

Next, and this is big, production just wrapped on director Lee Cronin’s new Mummy reboot—Atomic Monster, Blumhouse, New Line, all the big names, basically everyone except me and my neighbor’s cat are attached. This one promises to ditch every mummy movie you’ve seen before for something, in Cronin’s words, “very ancient and very frightening.” The cast list is shaping up with Hayat Kamille, May Calamawy, Veronica Falcón, and May Elghety, plus Jack Reynor as the not-mummy, which is a wild move—are we ready for a Mummy without, you know, The Mummy as the star? Release your calendar from its curse for April 17, 2026. If social media buzz is any indicator, genre fans are ready to excavate their snacks and crowd the theaters.

In the meantime, The Mummy keeps popping up in unexpected places. Bloody Disgusting reports a Universal Monsters and 19 Crimes wine collab—yes, mummy wine, because nothing says ‘world-weary ancient soul’ like pairing a vintage with your dried figs. And if you’re really feeling that “buried alive” vibe, there are Mummy-themed events at conventions like Fan Expo San Francisco, featuring Patricia Velásquez, who will sign autographs and, if you ask nicely, probably won’t curse your descendants.

That’s the wrap—see what I did there—for today’s rundown. Thanks for tuning in to The Mummy Biography Flash.
