Ive had a couple of chats about it with the director [Alex Kurtzman].
Ive known Tom Cruise since 1992, or something like that.
When he was married to an Australian, I was really good friends with him.
The Nice Guysstar went on to praise Kurtzman and the creative collaboration.
Sean Daniel, who produced the Brendan Fraser-ledMummytrilogy, returns to produce alongside Kurtzman and Chris Morgan.
The Mummyis scheduled for theaters on June 9, 2017.
