That's my biggest issue with a movie like "The Mummy." This entire film feels like it exists only to set up future movies that will be tied into its bigger mythological "universe." Sequels are no longer hoped for, they are expected. In today's movie landscape, a studio won't even gamble on a new big-budget action project without a virtual guarantee it will produce a litter of follow-up films. Remember when action-adventure movies just came out as self-contained stories that had the chance to become trilogies or franchises only if audiences loved them?
