Rick O’Connell swore he was done with curses—then a blood‑ink map bleeds through his old journal. Cairo erupts with sand‑wraiths and a whisper of a queen who won’t stay buried. He joins a reluctant legend: Mathayus, the Scorpion King, bound by a new oath he hates. Mara Voss (Megan Fox), thief‑scholar with a silver blade and a silk lie, holds the only key to the Black Sun, an eclipse that resurrects empires.

Trailer flashes: scarab swarms in torchlight, mirror obelisks catching a death‑beam, a chariot sprint along a collapsing canal, and a fistfight on a bone barge. Quips fly, mummies shriek, and the desert shapes a face bigger than the moon. Final sting: a ring clicks—and something ancient answers Rick by name.
