The once-feared Mathayus, now a warrior in exile, must return to a world that has long buried his name. Joined by a rebel warrior-princess (Sofia Boutella) and a disgraced general (Joe Manganiello), the trio embarks on an epic journey to stop a prophecy from unleashing chaos upon the world.

As kingdoms burn and monsters awaken, the Scorpion King must confront not just old enemies, but his own haunted legacy.
