Lee Cronin’s The Mummy has cast Jack Reynor as the Atomic Monster/Blumhouse production for New Line is set to begin filming in Ireland and Spain. Cronin’s Doppelgängers banner is also producing. I’m told Reynor is not getting wrapped up in the title role.
The film, which is still keeping its logline under wraps (get it, see how we used that there), is written and directed by Cronin, and marks the first collaboration for the recently combined companies, helmed by James Wan and Jason Blum, with Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group. Pic will be released on April 17, 2026.
Reynor is an award-winning Irish-American actor who recently starred in Netflix’s 2024 hit limited series, The Perfect Couple. His previous feature credits include Ari Aster’s Midsommar, The Russo Brothers’ Cherry; Lenny Abrahamson’s What Richard Did, for which he won the ITFA Award for Best Actor; John Carney’s Sing Street, for which he won the ITFA Award for Best Supporting Actor, as well as Carney’s Flora and Son; Ben Wheatley’s Free Fire and Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit. In 2015, he won the Sundance Film Festival’s Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting for his performance in Gerard Barrett’s film Glassland. Upcoming projects include the second season of Prime Video’s spy drama Citadel and John Carney’s musical comedy Power Ballad. Reynor wrote and directed a short film, Bainne, starring Will Poulter, which won the Best First Short Drama Award at the Galway Film Festival. For television, Reynor starred in Mimi Leder’s On the Basis of Sex, and in the CBS All Access series, Strange Angel, co-produced by Sailor Bear and Ridley Scott under his Scott Free banner. Additionally, he gained global recognition as the star of Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction, which grossed over $1B worldwide. Reynor is represented by WME, Range Media Partners and Sloane Offer.
Cronin’s debut feature film, The Hole in the Ground, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2019 to critical acclaim. His sophomore feature, Evil Dead Rise, was theatrically released through New Line Cinema in April 2023 and opened to $24.5M stateside, $67.2M domestic and $147M worldwide. The movie was originally destined to go on Max, however, the response to a riveting trailer at CineEurope convinced Warners to pivot the pic to theatrical where it cashed in plenty of riches.
Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are co-financing The Mummy. James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville are producers on the film. Michael Clear and Judson Scott are executive producers. Alayna Glasthal is the executive overseeing the project for Atomic Monster.
