A poster for Lee Cronin's The Mummy has drawn complaints for its depiction of a female child’s face. Transport for London, which runs the tube and bus stations in the capital of England, confirmed to Metro that it had received an undisclosed number of complaints from commuters. The Mummy, from Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin, has a number of advertisements running across London that depict eight-year-old Katie Cannon (played by Natalie Grace), who goes missing for eight years before returning as a mummy.
