What is Russell Crowe's character in "The Mummy"?
Russell Crowe's character is seen with glowing eyes and super human strength in the mummy. But no background information is given.
His evil-ish transformation seems to play no role in the movie plot, any clues?
Best Answer
Russell Crowe is playing Dr. Henry Jekyll, a well-known (to Anglophones, at least) character from an 1886 novel who invents a potion that regularly transforms him into an evil alter-ego, Mr. Edward Hyde. This character is one of the "monsters" that Universal Studios is featuring in its "Dark Universe" shared-universe movies, of which The Mummy is the first. I don't know why the filmmakers chose to feature him in this movie, but based on the reviews I've read, I doubt they knew either.

This led Kurtzman and company to the character of Dr. Henry Jekyll, though to add him, it needed to be a reflection of the Morton character's unreliable, conflicted nature. His character gets cursed by the Mummy and that makes him torn between good and evil.WTF Happened to RUSSELL CROWE?
