Jack Reynor is set to star in a fresh adaptation of “The Mummy,” directed by Lee Cronin, known for his work on horror hits like “Evil Dead Rise.” The film is being produced by New Line Cinema in collaboration with genre powerhouses Atomic Monster and Blumhouse. Cronin recently shared his excitement on Instagram, posting a photo with the caption “day one,” signaling the start of production.

Scheduled for release on April 17, 2026, specific plot details remain under wraps. However, it has been revealed that Reynor will portray a husband and father who encounters dark, supernatural forces that threaten his family. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cronin emphasized that his interpretation of “The Mummy” will be a radical departure from traditional portrayals in the genre. “I’m digging deep into the Earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening,” he stated, hinting at a unique and terrifying experience for audiences.

Jack Reynor, an Irish actor, is no stranger to the spotlight, having appeared in prominent films such as “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” “Sing Street,” and the critically acclaimed “Midsommar.” He also featured in Netflix’s high-profile crime series “The Perfect Couple,” which debuted last fall, showcasing his versatility and range as an actor.

As anticipation builds for this new take on a classic monster, fans and horror enthusiasts alike are eager to see how Cronin’s vision unfolds on the big screen. For more updates on this story and the latest movie news, visit The Hollywood Reporter.
