For over a decade, Hollywood has been dominated by superheroes, sequels, and reboots, with fewer and fewer blockbusters being made unless they fall under one of those conditions.

Yesterday, the trailer for the upcoming Marvel film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, landed, ticking off two boxes: superhero and sequel.

Today, another reboot, this time in the form of The Mummy, starring Tom Cruise, Peaky Blinders actor Annabelle Wallis, and Sofia Boutella as the titular character.

However, this is no mere reboot. The Mummy marks the official beginning the Universal Monsters Cinematic Universe: similar to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe but starring numerous famous literary deviants instead of superheroes.

In the trailer, for instance, we get our first taste of the famous Dr. Henry Jekyll (AKA Mr. Edward Hyde), played by Russell Crowe. It is Dr. Jekyll who wakes Cruise’s character in a bizarre looking sanatorium: perhaps he will act as the series Nick Fury?

Other characters set to appear in the upcoming Cinematic Universe with their own feature-length films include Invisible Man (played by Johnny Depp), Wolf Man (rumoured to be played by Dwayne Johnson), Van Helsing, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Bride of Frankenstein (Angelina Jolie is sought for the main role, while Javier Bardem wanted for Frankenstein's monster). Oh, and Luke Evans’s Dracula Untold is maybe/maybe not part of the series.
