The Mummy 2017 Ending Explained

The ending of The Mummy (2017) gives Tom Cruise’s Nick Morton the power of the Egyptian god of death, Set, setting up a shared universe team-up that never happened. While The Mummy (2017) was meant to kickstart Universal’s Dark Universe before an MCU-style crossover between universal monsters like The Invisible Man (to be played by Johnny Depp) and Frankenstein’s Monster (played by Javier Bardem), the box office flop and critical lashing of The Mummy ended those plans almost before they started. As a result, the ending of The Mummy (2017) includes a lot of set-up for sequels and spin-offs that will never happen.
