Regissören Alex Kurtzman berättade nyligen för filmsidan Cinema Blend varför man valde att göra mumien i kommande The Mummy (med Tompa Cruise) till en kvinna samt gav en liten inblick i hur man gick till väga när man designade själva karaktären. Tydligen hade det ganska mycket med X-Men: Days of Future Past att göra.
"I was going down that road, and then I saw the end of Days of Future Past. And they had the character that Oscar Isaac wound up playing as a boy, and it was, I kid you not, the exact same design. And I was like, 'Oh, man! That is not good!' And actually it was the catalyst, it was the moment of, 'Okay, not only is this not going to be different enough, Bryan Singer just did it, I definitely don't want to go down that road.' I had had that voice in my head for some time to make it a woman, and that was the moment where, the minute I saw that post-credits scene, I went, 'We have to start over. I don't want to mess around even remotely with anything that feels familiar or feels like it's been done. I have to go in totally new territory."
Här är X-Men-karaktären som Alex pratar om i intervjun...
Och här är den färdiga Mumien i den kommande filmen.
