The Perfect Couple's Jack Reynor will star in Irish director Lee Cronin's reboot of the iconic horror The Mummy, which is due to begin filming in Ireland next week.
US entertainment trade publication The Hollywood Reporter says Co Wicklow actor Reynor is understood to be playing "a husband and father who runs afoul of supernaturally sinister forces".
Filming will also take place in Spain.
The horror will arrive in cinemas on 17 April 2026.
"This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I'm digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening," said Cronin when the project was first announced last year.
The Dublin filmmaker made his Hollywood debut with 2023's Evil Dead Rise.

The film is part of Cronin's first-look deal with the Warner Bros-owned New Line Cinema. His own production company, Doppelgängers, is also among the producers.
Cronin's Evil Dead Rise has grossed $147 million worldwide.
He made his big-screen debut in 2019 with the acclaimed Irish horror The Hole in the Ground.
