A resurgence from the underworld awakens a long-forgotten terror—Apophis, the primordial serpent—threatening to swallow both gods and humans in darkness.

He reunites with Bek (Brenton Thwaites), the mortal hero, alongside Hathor (Élodie Yung) and the enigmatic Anubis (Chadwick Boseman, in a haunting posthumous role), journeying across shifting sands, sunken tombs, and celestial battlegrounds to face cosmic upheaval.am.thesenholding.comrsatimes.com
