Tom Cruise has proven himself as a versatile actor who can pretty much master any role he sets his eye on. Furthermore, the question that has been raised since the movie’s trailer got out is of The Mummy being a good decision for Tom Cruise’s career or not. At this age, Tom Cruise starring in The Mummy could be critical for his career – either in a good or bad manner.
Experts say that the Mummy is a cash-driven franchise that is expected to produce good numbers in the cinema and good return on investment; Tom Cruise’s induction in the movie makes it a slightly more guaranteed investment and will definitely do good at the box office. However, good or bad, Tom Cruise is set to be the face of the new Mummy 2017 reboot which has previously produced and delivered successful figures in Brendan Fraser and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
