The Mummy franchise kicked off in 1999 and succeeded in becoming a global phenomenon in the adventure-horror genre.

Universal Pictures’ original Mummy franchise started in 1932 and went until 1955. With a total of six instalments, the franchise focused more on the horror aspect of Mummy reanimation and revenge. In 1999, director Stephen Sommers released his remake of The Mummy starring Brandon Fraser and Rachel Weisz that would bring the franchise back to life. Two direct sequels were released between 2001 and 2008 before Universal decided to shift course and focus on the spinoff prequel films. There are five prequels in total (four of which were direct-to-video) that focus on The Scorpion King’s origin story, released between 2002 and 2018.

The Scorpion King Spinoff Prequels
Between 2002 and 2018, Universal released five spinoff films that went back in time and focused on the life of The Scorpion King, the main antagonist of The Mummy Returns.

Tom Cruise’s The Mummy
In 2017, director Alex Kurtzman resurrected the franchise for Universal with a film starring Tom Cruise. The film was intended to set up Universal's so-called Dark Universe project. However, the film did not perform adequately with fans, critics, or at the box office so future instalments were scrapped.
