(Universal declined to comment on Variety's story.) But the site says that Cruise is simply too busy to take the part - whatever it may be - citing his busy schedule filming the next "Jack Reacher" movie and "Mission: Impossible 6," which is slated to start production next August. Of course, Deadline didn't get either party to go on the record with those statements. But rival trade Deadline is debunking that report, claiming, "Both Universal and the star's people tell Deadline adamantly that no deal with Cruise is in the works for the film."

Here’s a checklist of The Mummy action figures and playsets from Toy Island. Most of them are currently listed on places like eBay & amazon, and if you’re a fan of the movie, these definitely are collectibles that you would not want to pass up on. Some of the Toy Island Mummy toys have become very rare and very expensive. They also came with an exclusive mummy figure and an O’ Connell figure.

When all three formed together, you’d have a diorama of the mummy’s tomb. Toy Island gave fans the choice to either buy three separately or buy all three to connect together. In addition to the diverse range of creatures – Severed Mummy to Cursed Princess, the real highlight of Toy Island’s The Mummy line was the three connecting playsets. Naturally one would need the hero figure to fight against the mummies. Despite having six different mummy action figures (two being Arnold Vosloo’s Imhotep), fans did have the option of buying two different O’ Connell figures – Legionnaire and Adventurer. I always loved that the card featured the copy “You are the Mummy hunter,” as it didn’t make specific reference to Rick O’ Connell, but that it did place you in the figurative boots of Brendan Fraser’s iconic adventurer.

You are the Mummy Hunter… Can you stop the Mummy and save all of mankind? Can the Mummy be destroyed if he’s already dead?! The curse of the Mummy has been unleashed! Now, his power threatens the very soul of humanity. Packaged on a card cut like a tomb, the back read: Fully immersing fans and collectors in the world of Stephen Sommer’s re-imagining of the 1932 classic, The Mummy line of action figures featured some pretty inspired designs and a Mummy dominant line of figures with only three Rick O’ Connell (Brendan Fraser) figures. Toy Island produced eight 6″ action figures, two 12″ figures, and three playsets. Toy Island’s The Mummy line of action figures and playsets were the highlight of toy releases for me in 1999, but by most standards, were largely forgotten with Hasbro’s Star Wars massively overshadowing them. May 3rd marked the major release of all the Star Wars merchandise and when excited fans headed out to the toy stores, they were not only greeted by the latest Star Wars toys from Hasbro, but they also came upon action figures and playsets for The Mummy by Toy Island. 1999 was a big year for merchandise with movies like The Mummyand Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace opening that summer.
