The report mentions that for at least part ofEpisode 8, a seven or eight-foot-tall puppet will be operated by several people in order to get him to walk. If the report turns out to be true it would mark a very different approach to the character who was first brought to life by motion capture technology inThe Force Awakens.
According to a recent interview withThe MummydirectorAlex Kurtzman, there was an original plan to keep a male version of the Mummy villain for the Universal Monsters reboot.

Hello Collider
Besides your favorites, how many times would you say you typically rewatch a movie? When you guys do “AMC Rewind”, the panel can go from “That movie is great” to “I don’t remember that”, and whenever Rocha, Perri, and Dennis talk about Transformers, it sounds like the latter two wouldn’t want to waste their time viewing those movies a second time.
