desert, an ancient queen (Sofia Boutella) whose destiny was unjustly
taken from her, is awakened in our current day, bringing with her
malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human
comprehension. From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden
labyrinths under modern day London, THE MUMMY brings a surprising
intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take
that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.
The greatest of news, people! One of our most beloved Irish hunks Jamie Dornan is in talks to star in ROBIN HOOD: ORIGINS according to 'The Hollywood Reporter'!

If he accepts the role in the film in which young Tarton Egerton is to play Robin, Dornan would play Will Scarlett!
In Lionsgate's version of the Robin Hood legend, to be directed by
Otto Bathurst, Jamie Foxx will play Little John and Eve Hewson will
portray Maid Marian! Jamie Dornan would play Will Scarlett, one of
Robin's brave Merry Men who is the hot headed wearer of fine clothes and
the best swordsman of the bunch. In this version of the legend, which
starts shooting in Hungary in January, he is Marian’s husband, who will
be none too happy when he learns that she loves the outlaw.
