A new report suggests Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema\u2019s 2026 horror project has changed its title, moving away from its original Mummy<\/strong> name. The update, shared by an industry insider, hints that the Lee Cronin-directed film will take a darker, standalone approach. James Wan and Jason Blum are producing the film.<\/p>\n Scooper Daniel Richtman reported<\/a> that Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema renamed their upcoming horror film The Mummy to The Resurrected.<\/p>\n Richtman shared the update on social media with a logline about a father whose missing daughter returns after eight years. He soon discovers she carries the spirit of an ancient Egyptian mummy. As the evil spreads to his other child, the father faces an impossible choice. He must perform a deadly ritual to save them, even if it means becoming the monster himself.<\/p>\n Evil Dead Rise<\/a> filmmaker Lee Cronin wrote and directed the film, which releases on April 17, 2026. James Wan\u2019s Atomic Monster and Jason Blum\u2019s Blumhouse Productions produced The Resurrected, starring Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, Ver\u00f3nica Falc\u00f3n, and May Calamawy. Cronin announced on Instagram that filming wrapped in June 2025. The project marks Warner Bros.\u2019 first original mummy-themed film, separate from Universal\u2019s long-running Mummy franchise.<\/p>\n Richtman\u2019s report stated that the title change positions the film apart from the Brendan Fraser and Tom Cruise installments. Promotional materials for the movie featured the tagline, \u201cSomething terrifying will be unleashed in 2026,\u201d signaling a darker tone than earlier adventure-focused versions.<\/p>\n Cronin told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> that the film will be \u201cunlike any \u2018Mummy\u2019 movie you ever laid eyeballs on before,\u201d explaining that the story centers on characters \u201cdigging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening.\u201d<\/p>\n With no major release before February 2026, Warner Bros. has room to promote The Resurrected early. Industry trackers reportedly expect the first trailer to drop before the end of 2025, ahead of its spring theatrical debut.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Lee Cronin\u2019s The Mummy Possibly Gets a Surprising Title Change<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new report suggests Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema\u2019s 2026 horror project has changed its title, moving away from its original Mummy name.
