The action-adventure blockbuster The Mummy Returns 2 has officially revived the legendary series with a new modern breeze but still retains the classic adventure spirit. In this sequel, Dwayne Johnson returns to the role of Mathayus – also known as the Scorpion King – with a stronger, colder image but with more emotional depth than his first appearance in 2001.

Mathayus is no longer simply a cursed warrior. In this part, he becomes the center of a new war between ancient forces that rise after the curse of the mummy Imhotep is broken again. Dwayne Johnson portrays a tough but troubled Mathayus with the past, a “grey” hero, carrying the burden of immortality and ancient mistakes.

With his extensive film experience, Dwayne creates a character that not only fights beautifully but also has inner depth – something rarely seen in the action roles he has played. The relationship between Mathayus and the new female character, an Egyptian magician, is also a highlight that creates emotional depth in the film.
