The Mummy

Four unrelated film families share the title, and only one of them is a series you can watch in order.

Where to start with The Mummy

Start with the 1999 film and stay inside its continuity. Nothing else on this page leads into it or out of it, so the other groups are separate decisions rather than later steps.

  1. 1
    The Mummy (1999) The Mummy

    The entry point, and it needs nothing before it. It shares almost nothing with the 1932 film beyond the title and the idea of a revived Egyptian priest.

  2. 2
    The Mummy Returns (2001) The Mummy Returns

    A direct sequel, set seven years later, with the same cast returning. It is the only film here that assumes you have seen the one before it.

  3. 3
    The Scorpion King (2002) The Scorpion King

    A prequel that takes the ancient prologue of The Mummy Returns and builds a whole film out of it. It works best after that prologue rather than before it.

Then what? Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008 is the third film and the weakest, it moves the story to China and recasts Evelyn, and a fourth film dated to May 2028 is reported to continue from the first two and leave the third aside. The animated series is a curiosity for people who want more of the same characters. The four later Scorpion King films are direct to video and have no bearing on the Mummy films at all. The 1932 Karloff film, the 2017 Tom Cruise film and the 2026 Lee Cronin film are three separate things that happen to share a name, and any of them can be watched on its own, in any order, or not at all.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
