Speaking with Screen Rant’s Liam Crowley at theM3GAN 2.0red carpet premiere, Blumhouse Productions CEO Jason Blum was asked about the state ofthe studio’s upcomingThe Mummyreboot. This is one of Blumhouse’s biggest movies of 2026, and Blum seemed eager to discuss it at theM3GAN 2.0event.
When Crowleymentioned thatThe Mummywas “in production,“Blum interjected by saying that the movie was “Wrapped. Finished! I haven’t seen [the final cut], it’s in editing, but I’m very excited about it. The vibes are very good. I have a very good feeling about our Mummy.” This proves that Blum is incredibly confident in the upcoming horror reboot, setting an exciting tone for the film’s future.
What Jason Blum’s Comments Mean For The Mummy Reboot
The Film Has A Lot Of Potential
The fact thatJason Blum feels so confident aboutThe Mummyis a good sign, meaning that it could be a great film when it is finally released next year. The “vibes” being good could either refer to the on-set vibes or the vibes at Blumhouse, but either way, it signals that those involved in the film are confident that it will be great.
The fact thatThe Mummyhas wrapped in June 2025 and doesn’t release until April 2026 is also a good sign. This means thatThe Mummywill have just under 10 months in post-production, which is a good amount of time for a blockbuster movie. If it isanything like the 1999The Mummy, the film will need a lot of time in editing for its visual effects.

The Mummyreboot is one of Blumhouse’s most exciting upcoming movies, and this comment makes us even more excited.Blumhouse’s attempts to reboot Universal monster movieslikeThe Invisible Manhave been mostly successful, and hopefully,The Mummywill join this line of successes.
Having Lee Cronin in the director’s chair is also a good thing, asEvil Dead Risewas fantastic. The director is well-versed in the horror genre, meaning that he is the ideal choice for a reboot ofThe Mummy.
The Mummy
The Mummyfranchise is a series of films and media centered around resurrected mummies and the adventurers who combat them. The franchise began with the originalThe Mummyfilm in 1932, but it was the 1999 reboot directed by Stephen Sommers that rejuvenated the series, blending action, adventure, and horror with a heavy dose of special effects. This version starred Brendan Fraser as the heroic Rick O’Connell and Arnold Vosloo as the reanimated mummy, Imhotep. The success of the 1999 film spawned two sequels, a spin-off series (The Scorpion King), and a 2017 reboot intended to launch Universal’s Dark Universe, though it failed to ignite the intended franchise.
