(Note: This post includes spoilers for “The Mummy.”)
Universal is bringing back its monsters and giving them the expanded cinematic universe treatment. And first up in its new batch of related action movies with classic silver screen horrors is the Tom Cruise-starring reboot, “The Mummy.”
The first entry into Universal’s “Dark Universe” introduces a few elements that will undoubtedly be a thing later on. There’s not only the ancient cursed undead baddie the name implies, but also a secret group dedicated to destroying evil, led by Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe) of “Jekyll and Hyde” fame.
Often cinematic universe movies that have more films to tease on the way will include post-credits scenes (known as “tags”) that lead to the next film.
