Exclusive: Jake Johnson and Courtney B. Vance on The Mummy

To mark the forthcoming release of Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy – out on June 9th – we had the pleasure of sitting down with two of the film’s stars; Jake Johnson and Courtney B. Vance.

The pair discussed with us what attracted them both to the project (surprise surprise – it’s Tom Cruise) and just how cool it made them feel to be shooting scenes with the legendary actor. They also speak about Kurtzman’s directing style, and Johnson comments on his character’s comedic responsibility, providing the film with vital moments of light relief.

Watch the full interview below…

Synopsis

Nick Morton is a soldier of fortune who plunders ancient sites for timeless artifacts and sells them to the highest bidder. When Nick and his partner come under attack in the Middle East, the ensuing battle accidentally unearths Ahmanet, a betrayed Egyptian princess who was entombed under the desert for thousands of years. With her powers constantly evolving, Morton must now stop the resurrected monster as she embarks on a furious rampage through the streets of London.

The Mummy is released on June 9th
