“Death… eternal punishment… for… anyone… who… opens… this… casket.”
Laia Costa is the latest star to join Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, the Atomic Monster/Blumhouse production for New Line that just started shooting in Ireland. She joins Jack Reynor, who we just announced yesterday, on the horror film.
Laia Costa starred in the critically-acclaimed, single-take film, Victoria, for which she won the LOLA (Germany’s equivalent of the Oscar) for “Best Actress” and was nominated for a European Film Award for “Best European Actress” and the prestigious BAFTA EE Rising Star Award. Film credits include Only You with Josh O’Connor, Newness with Nicholas Hoult, Miguel Arteta’s Duck Butter, Nicolas Pesce’s Piercing, and Dan Fogelman’s Life Itself. Currently starring in Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time, additional TV credits include Devils for Sky Atlantic, AMC’s Soulmates and HBO Spain’s limited series Foodie Love from creator Isabel Coixet. Costa won the Goya Award for “Best Lead Actress” for Lullaby (aka Cinco Lobitos), which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival. She was nominated the following year for another Goya Award for “Best Lead Actress” for Un Amor.
The film will shamble into theaters on April 17, 2026. Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on The Mummy.
