The Mummy 2: Rise of the Curse (2026) – First Trailer
Starring: Tom Cruise, Jennifer Lawrence.

“The desert never forgets—its debts collect with interest.”

Years after the Prodigium fiasco, ex‑recon Nick Morton (Cruise) is dragged from the shadows when a blood‑eclipse awakens the City of the Thirteenth Name.

Dr. Mara Vale (Lawrence), a razor‑brilliant epigrapher, deciphers a palimpsest that rewrites itself, revealing a soul‑tax meant to ransom the sun. Set pieces roar: sandstorm convoy ambush through knife‑edged dunes; Cairo night‑market blade dance; scarabs drilling stone like rain; a river‑of‑ink tomb where constellations sink; mirror‑maze catacombs turning hunters into offerings; and a ziggurat summit as a glass sarcophagus fills—slowly—with daylight.

To stop a pharaoh who eats years, Nick must choose: free the curse inside him or let the world go dark.
Verdict: Sun‑baked spectacle with pulpy dread—tactile creature mayhem, thunder‑drum score, and flint‑sharp star chemistry promise a roaring, tomb‑raider revival.
