Characters from other monster movies are expected to return in each sequel, and the series will ultimately come together in a final movie, similar to the Marvel cinematic universe.

Kurtzman is expected to direct the reboot and Jon Spaihts is writing the movie script. According to IMDB, the movie is set in present day, unlike the previous Mummy movies featuring BRendan Fraser, and follows navy Seal Tyler Colt on his mission in the Iraqi desert in search of terrorists.
