The first-ever Mummy film was the 1932 black-and-white classic The Mummy. Starring Frankenstein actor Boris Karloff as Imhotep, an Egyptian mummy who is resurrected back to life as a team of archaeologists tinker with his tomb. The success of this film led to five more sequels by Universal Studios with the final one being a horror comedy crossover with the comedic duo Abbott and Costello.
Like Frankenstein and Dracula, the British horror studio Hammer also sought to remake The Mummy with a 1959 color remake starring Christopher Lee as the titular villain. This film too was a success and spawned three more indirect sequels.
The most popular Mummy franchise, however, began in 1999 with the Brendan Fraser adventure The Mummy. While it’s followed by two direct sequels The Mummy Returns and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, it’s also preceded by the Scorpion King franchise which is set in the times of ancient Egypt. The character of the Scorpion King was first played by wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson in The Mummy Returns, with Johnson reprising his role in the origin film The Scorpion King. There were four more Scorpion films with Rise of a Warrior documenting his younger years and the other three continuing his legacy (but with other actors replacing Johnson).
In 2017, Universal attempted to reboot The Mummy franchise yet again with a new treatment starring Tom Cruise. But the film flopped at the box-office and all plans of a sequel got scrapped soon after. The 2017 reboot can be watched as a standalone movie.
