The Mummy: Resurrection is an epic supernatural adventure starring Dwayne Johnson and Keanu Reeves, and the first trailer reveals a thrilling return to the world of ancient curses and terrifying mummies. The trailer opens with an eerie shot of the vast Egyptian desert at dusk, sand swirling in the wind, and ominous music setting a dark, suspenseful tone. As the camera pans over ancient ruins, a mysterious voiceover says, “The dead do not rest. They wait.”
We then cut to a massive archaeological dig site where explorers have uncovered an ancient tomb that has been untouched for millennia. Keanu Reeves’ character, Jack Randall, an expert in ancient civilizations, is introduced walking cautiously through the tomb, brushing off ancient hieroglyphs that warn of a forgotten evil. His voiceover reflects on his lifelong search for answers: “Some things should stay buried.”
Suddenly, we get a glimpse of the true threat—an ancient and malevolent force. The camera zooms in on a massive stone sarcophagus, which begins to crack and rumble. Dwayne Johnson’s character, Mathayus, an ancient warrior cursed with immortality, bursts onto the scene. He warns Jack and the archaeologists that they’ve awakened something far worse than any curse. “The sands are shifting, and what comes next… no one can stop.”
The trailer quickly accelerates into intense action scenes, with mummies rising from the sands, their rotting faces and bandaged bodies surging with supernatural energy. Mathayus and Jack must team up to stop the newly resurrected mummy, Set, an ancient Egyptian warlord bent on reclaiming his empire and unleashing his undead army upon the modern world. Set’s menacing figure is briefly shown, adorned with terrifying armor, glowing eyes, and wielding dark magical powers.
Quick-cut scenes flash by: Mathayus battling waves of undead creatures in an epic hand-to-hand fight, Jack racing through crumbling tombs as traps spring to life, and massive sandstorms engulfing entire cities as Set’s power grows. The tone is dark, but the chemistry between Johnson and Reeves offers moments of levity and camaraderie amidst the chaos. In one scene, Mathayus lifts a collapsing pillar effortlessly, while Jack sarcastically mutters, “Well, I wasn’t going to help with that.”
As the trailer builds toward its climax, we see Jack and Mathayus facing off against Set in the ruins of an ancient temple. With the sky swirling with magic and destruction, the final shot shows the two heroes standing together, preparing for the ultimate battle. Jack declares, “We’ve got one chance to stop him.” Mathayus replies, “Then let’s make it count.”
The trailer ends with the title The Mummy: Resurrection flashing on screen, followed by the release date, leaving viewers eager for the explosive return of ancient evils and supernatural action in this thrilling new installment of the Mummy franchise.
