Starring Reynolds’ Deadpool, the opening follows him battling Tva agents while dancing to the classic Nsync hit Bye Bye Bye, a track released 24 years ago. The latest MCU installment has brought renewed attention to the song, with audiences expressing their gratefulness for the band.

With its majestic panorama of Thebes, it's hard to believe that the wild opening scene in The Mummy is not actually CGI. Over the heads of Anubis and other gods of Ancient Egypt, the opening shots of The Mummy eventually settle on High Priest Imhotep and his lover, Anck-su-namun, the prize of Pharaoh Seti I. The opening, which also features a narration by Oded Fehr's Ardeth Bay, paints a dramatic and epic picture of Ancient Egypt before the action switches to the early 20th century.

Upon its release in 1999, The Mummy was a successful blockbuster because of its clever blend of humor, action, and stunning visual effects, which were developed by Industrial Light & Magic. Once Imhotep is awakened from his slumber, much of the film is devoted to impressive CGI sequences, including reanimating Imhotep's corpse and those of his guards, sandstorms, and various plagues, but much of it was also practical.
