Earlier today, we posted that Tom Cruise was in talks to star in Universal’s reboot of The Mummy. However, it looks like that won’t be happening, according to Deadline, as Cruise is too busy shooting a sixth Mission Impossible film as well as a sequel to Jack Reacher.
Now, that doesn’t mean that Cruise is not going to be part of this new universe that Universal is working on. It just means that this won’t be his appearance in the franchise. Talking about the possibility of Cruise appearing in the series, Brad’s, “…own personal guess here is that he’s in talks to play VAN HELSING, the epicenter of the Universal Monsters universe who is also rumored to get his own movie.”
But let’s stick to facts right now, shall we? The Mummy is getting made and Tom Cruise is not a part of it. Until we know something that points otherwise, that’s the latest information.
