Tom Cruise looks terrified as he comes face to face with evil creatures in new trailer for The Mummy
The Hollywood hunk plummets down a sinkhole only to meet a chilling Egyptian queen
TOM Cruise looks truly terrified as he plummets into a sinkhole and comes face-to-face with a murderous Egyptian princess in a horrifying new trailer for The Mummy.
Today Universal Productions released its second explosive teaser for the film re-boot and Hollywood hunk Tom, who plays Nick Morton, takes centre stage.
Haunting music kicks off the action-packed scenes which see Tom in role as Nick rush to an explosion.
They swiftly switch to a gun battle, where he comes under fire and can be heard screaming "Get down!"
As a number of buildings go up in flames, it causes a groundswell, opening a huge split in the barren desert and revealing the head of a huge Egyptian figure sculpted from sand.
The astounded character remarks: "What the hell?" before being sent in to investigate.
He soon discovers the underground world is in fact the 2,000-year-old prison of Egyptian Queen Ahmanet, who was tipped to lead a sparkling royal life before she turned evil.
The lengthy clip hints the tables have now turned, with Ahmanet attempting to use Nick's skills to regain her own ancient powers.

Meanwhile actor Russell Crowe, who takes on the role of Dr Jekyll, tells Nick it is up to him to battle the long-haired horror and send her back to the tomb because he has been "chosen by the ultimate evil."
