'The Mummy' Trailer Reveals More Scenes of Vengeful Princess Ahmanet
In yet another CinemaCon reveal, a new trailer of the upcoming "The Mummy" movie starring Tom Cruise (Mission Impossible) was unveiled.
In this second trailer, audiences will see yet another glimpse of vengeful mummified Egyptian Princess, Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella), who rises from the dead after being disturbed in her grave to claim the world as her own.
Ahmanet is said to be a disgraced Egyptian Princess who was punished by being buried alive after murdering her own father.

Nick Morton (Cruise) will then be tasked to stop the mummy from her rampage - after all, it was he who helped unearth it in the first place.
In the first trailer, it was shown that Nick died when the plane he boarded when he attempted to transport the mummy crashed, but for some reason, he also experienced a resurrection of his own.
Nick is joined by Dr. Jekyll (Russell Crowe), Sgt. Vail (Jake Johnson), and another archaeologist, Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis), as he tries to successfully stop Ahmanet from destroying everything in her way. "She will not stop until she has remade our world into her own," Dr. Jekyll says in the trailer.
During the CinemaCon event in Las Vegas, part of the cast also revealed how Cruise does most of the action stunts on his own - including over 64 takes just for the plane crash sequence.
"We jump off buildings ... and Tom really does it all," Johnson says, according to Variety. "My character dies. I almost died," he added.
Directed by Alex Kurtzman, "The Mummy" will premiere in U.S. theaters on June 9. It also stars Courtney B. Vance ("The People v. O.J. Simpson"), Javier Botet, Selva Rasalingam, Dylan Smith, Rez Kempton, Chasty Ballesteros, Marwan Kenzari and Alaa Safi.
The movie is also intended as a reboot of the whole "The Mummy" franchise which first started in 1932, with a "The Mummy" trilogy in 1999 and several "The Scorpion King" spin-offs from 2002 up to 2015.
