Sofia Boutellas character in The Mummy  real name Ahmanet  is angry. So might you be if you were living in a mans world and find yourself stripped of your inheritance because your dad happens to have a baby boy. Originally destined to become the Queen of Egypt, Ahmanets thirst for power leads to her downfall and she finds herself mummified alive. Bogus.When she wakes up some 5,000 years later, shes still mad as hell. Plus, it turns out shes made a promise to the Egyptian God Set to provide him with the body of a mortal man that he can inhabit. Which means she then makes it her mission to fulfil that promise, and suck the life out of actual living people to get herself back to full strength.Sofia Boutella spoke to FANDOM to tell us that Ahmanet isnt all bad, and that her temper is something a little love and self-care could probably tackle.She has a reason for why shes doing this and doesnt come from a place of pure evil. She comes from a place of having been deceived and heartbroken and she just wants justice, she explains. I think there is a space for redemption there. She just needs a hug. She just needs a bit of love.So how would Sofia like to see Ahmanet develop in future films in the Dark Universe?Id like to see her in [the] modern day taking on normal life trying to blend in, see what happens. Try to buy some groceries at the supermarket interact with people I dont know, go to the gym, go to the sun.Anything else?Maybe she can just compromise. Instead of taking their lives, those poor people, I think maybe she can compromise and go and get some sun instead or try to eat more carrots. A bit of Vitamin A in there will help her, eat a bunch of mushrooms for some Vitamin D. What else? Some green juices. That will do. She just doesnt know diet very well. Thats why her methods are a bit eccentric.Maybe the Dark Universe could surprise us all and go somewhere unexpected after all.The Mummy hits screens on June 9.
