Question 1

Is The Mummy woke?

Accepted Answer

The Mummy has a woke score of 21/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. The 2017 reboot stars Tom Cruise as a US soldier whose looting in Iraq accidentally awakens Princess Ahmanet, a mummified ancient Egyptian royal who made a demonic pact for power and now seeks to unleash chaos in the modern world alongside a secret monster-hunting organization.

The narrative relies on standard action-horror beats, mythological backstory, and supernatural battles with no activist dialogue or reframing.

A single audience-visible element stands out: the central monster is reimagined as a female princess rather than the male mummy of prior franchise entries, presented as a story choice that fits her royal origin without identity signaling or modern messaging.

Question 2

Is there DEI in The Mummy?

Accepted Answer

The biggest factors in our score are Legacy character or canon changes, Representation / casting choices, Identity-driven story themes. Though safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen 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.
