He is getting set to battle an angry corpse wrapped in bandages.
So it is understandable Tom Cruise's character was looking a little worried as the first shots from the new The Mummy reboot being shot in Oxford, England emerged Tuesday.
The movie hunk wore a look of constipated consternation on his face as he stared into the distance while his beautiful blonde co-star Annabelle Wallis stood at his side.
Oh Mummy: Tom Cruise looked worried as he stood with Annabelle Wallis on the set of the reboot in Oxford on Tuesday
Evergreen Tom, 53, was looking good for his age in a blue shirt, dark denims and black shoes.
His effervescent 31-year-old English co-star, who is best known for dating Coldplay singer Chris Martin, meanwhile was lovely in a white blouse, khaki jeans and brown boots.
One person who did not put in an appearance was Sofia Boutella, the sexy 34-year-old Algerian actress who is playing the film's monster.
According to the movie synopsis, Tom plays Navy Seal Tyler Colt who goes on a mission in the Iraqi desert to find a group of terrorists hiding out in a bunker.

However their prey turn out to be mere grave robbers who have all magically died, and when they go inside the bunker Tyler and his team also succumb to some mystical forces out of their control, which is when they realise they are actually in an ancient tomb.
While his men end up turning on each other, Tom's character is the only one make it all the way deep within the tomb alive and find an ominous black iron sarcophagus.
After he tries to open it he is stabbed in the palm and his mind is cursed with visions of Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria, more informally known as The Mummy.

A chump at Oxford: Tom's latest film is part of Universal's Monsters Universe franchise
The film is part of Universal's Monsters Universe franchise, which kicked off with 2014's Dracula Untold, which was met with mixed reviews.
The latest attempt is being directed by Alex Kurtzman, who is best known for writing such classics as Cowboys And Aliens and Transformers.
He is also producing, along with Chris Morgan, of the Fast And Furious series, and Sean Daniel, the brains behind The Mummy trilogy.
