Where's your sense of adventure?
~ Nick Morton.

Sergeant Nick Morton is the main protagonist of the 2017 horror fantasy action-adventure film, The Mummy, which is the first and only film of Universal Studios' Dark Universe series. He is a soldier of fortune and private contractor who specializes in treasure hunting and tomb raiding. He is hired alongside an American military unit in Iraq to retrieve an ancient sarcophagus from Egypt and bring it back to London. While within the region, he incidentally unearths the tomb of the princess Ahmanet and inadvertently resurrects her. Her reawakening causes their plane to crash due to a flock of crows. Not having a parachute, he is killed in the crash only to be later resurrected after being chosen by Ahmanet.

He was portrayed by Tom Cruise, who also played Maverick in Top Gun, Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible films, Nathan Algren in The Last Samurai, John Anderton in Minority Report, Daniel Kaffee in A Few Good Men, Charlie Babbitt in Rain Man, Ray Ferrier in War of the Worlds, Ron Kovic in Born on the Fourth of July, Major William Cage in Edge of Tomorrow, Jack Harper in Oblivion, David Aames in Vanilla Sky, and Jack Reacher in the Jack Reacher films. In the Japanese dub, he was voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa.

History[]

U.S. Army Sergeant Nick Morton and his buddy Corporal Chris Vail are reconnaissance soldiers riding toward a village being overrun by insurgents. Nick wants to go down for some adventure while Vail is strongly against it. They go down there anyway and get shot at. Vail orders an airstrike to take the insurgents out. As the bombs are dropped, a hole opens in the ground, nearly sucking Nick and Vail down there. They discover Ahmanet's tomb.

The guys' superior, Colonel Greenway, comes to the site in a helicopter and immediately berates the two for running off and doing their own thing, chasing insurgents. Moments later, an archaeologist named Jenny Halsey shows up and smacks Nick for stealing a map from her after they shared a night together. After seeing the tomb, Nick, Vail, and Jenny all descend to see what is down there. Jenny notes that there are watcher statues facing inward instead of outward, and there are chains holding the sarcophagus down while submerged in mercury to weaken evil spirits. Nick shoots a chain, causing the sarcophagus to rise from its holdings. He then sees a vision of Ahmanet calling to him, thanking him for freeing her. A bunch of camel spiders begin crawling down from the walls. Vail shoots at them but he gets bitten in the neck, though Nick claims they are not poisonous. They get back to the surface and bring the sarcophagus up.

Everyone rides home in a plane. Vail starts to act weird as his skin has turned grey and his eyes look discolored. He tries to cut the sarcophagus free from its holdings. Greenway approaches him to stop him, but Vail stabs him twice, killing Greenway. Vail starts moving toward Nick and the other soldiers, forcing Nick to shoot Vail dead. Nick and Jenny go into the cockpit and see a whole flock of crows flying and crashing through the windshield. The pilots are killed, and the plane starts to go down. Nick gives Jenny a parachute and pulls it so she can get out safely. The plane then crashes with everyone onboard. Nick wakes up in a body bag at a morgue in London. Standing next to him is Vail's ghost, who tells him that they are both cursed. Jenny is asked to identify the bodies of the deceased but is surprised to see Nick alive.

Trivia[]

  • Nick keeps having visions of Ahmanet as she was 5,000 years ago, with himself in the place of her first Chosen. His visions can also show him Ahmanet's exact location.
  • The "Mort" in Nick's last name is a pun on his fate, given that he dies and is resurrected during the events of The Mummy. Nick's name was originally Tyler Colt during production.
  • Originally, Cruise was meant to reprise his role as Nick in future films of the Dark Universe, however, after The Mummy received negative reviews and became a box-office bomb, future films in the Dark Universe were scrapped.
