Lee Cronin’s The Mummy reboot got an exciting announcement today as it was confirmed that Midsommar star Jack Reynor has joined the cast. The film is starting production in Spain and Ireland with studios Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, and New Line Cinema.
Deadline first reported that the Irish actor is leading the cast, although his role remains undisclosed. After portraying Shane Dyson in 2014’s Transformers: Age of Extinction, Reynor gained mainstream attention. Genre fans recognize him best as Christian in Ari Aster’s 2019 folk horror film Midsommar. More recently, Reynor starred in the 2024 Netflix miniseries The Perfect Couple alongside Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber.
Last year, it was announced that Lee Cronin would direct the reboot, which is scheduled for release in 2026. The filmmaker made headlines in 2023 with the extremely gory Evil Dead sequel, Evil Dead Rise, starring Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland. In December, Cronin told The Hollywood Reporter, “This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. He continued, “I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening.”

Cronin’s will produce the film under his Doppelgängers banner, along Evil Dead Rise producer John Keville, James Wan, and Jason Blum.
The most recent film in the franchise was Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy, released in 2017. Despite having an A-list cast that included Tom Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, Sofia Boutella, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance, Marwan Kenzari, and Russell Crowe, the film became the lowest-performing installment in the franchise. It was intended to kick-start the Dark Universe but plans were scrapped following the box-office disappointment.
The Mummy reboot will release in theaters on April 17, 2026.
