The international trailer has arrived for Universal’s The Mummy, from director Alex Kurtzman and writers Jon Spaihts and Christopher McQuarrie. In the action-packed trailer, which has a serious Indiana Jones feel, we witness the discovery of a tomb, a plane crash, Tom Cruise in a body bag and a look at Russell Crowe as Dr. Henry Jekyll.

From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters. Tom Cruise (Jack Reacher, Mission Impossible) stars alongside, Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (American Crime
