Besides the characters that audiences will be meeting in The Mummy, there have also been some recent announcements that guarantee that characters such as Dracula, the Invisible Man and the Creature from the Black Lagoon would all be a part of this universe of monsters.
Directed by Alex Kurtzman, the film will bring together some of our favorite classic monsters in an all new shared universe involving Universal Monsters.
Universal introduces its "Dark Universe" cast.
On which actors he wants involved: "I'd love to bring Michael Fassbender in, I'd love to bring Jennifer Lawrence in, I'd love to see Charlize Theron in there, Angelina Jolie..." It will be really interesting to see where we go because I actually think that Bride is maybe a lot more accessible as a character than you may think. It will be followed up by the Bill Condon-directed Bride of Frankenstein, starring Javier Bardem; Creature of the Black Lagoon from screenwriters Jeff Pinkner and Will Beall; The Invisible Man, starring Johnny Depp; and Van Helsing, from Prometheus scribe Jon Spaihts, Arrival writer Eric Heisserer, and Dan Mazeau. It's all very exciting, to be sure, and even though analysts are predicting a bit of an underwhelming box office opening for The Mummy, we're hopeful that Universal can finally get this project off the ground.
