The first teaser for the movie was released on Monday, giving viewers a sneak peek at the plot, which revolves around the discovery of a strange body that is entirely wrapped and photographers taking images of it.

With mere glimpses, the teaser advances to depict the emergence of a malevolent power. The preview shows a mummified body of a person who seems to be resurrecting amid a menacing chant in the background.

The original 1932 film The Mummy told the story of a mummified ancient Egyptian priest who, after unintentionally coming back to life, unleashes a potent curse. The movie gave rise to a late-90s series, which began with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz's 1999 reimagining of The Mummy.

According to Variety, the legendary pair will now reconvene for the fourth Mummy adventure with directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin.
