Before Universal created the braintrust to resurrect their monsters universe, they released the god awful Dracula Untold, which starred the bland Luke Evans as the Prince of Darkness. I hate that movie – haaaaaaate it – and wish that both the film and Evans would stay as far away from the upcoming monster universe as humanly possible. Unfortunately, Universal has openly stated that it’s the “first” in the series of films, which will include The Mummy, Invisible Man, Wolf Man, Creature From the Black Lagoon and even Bride of Frankenstein.

When LRM spoke to Evans, who plays Scott Hipwell in Tate Taylor’s upcoming The Girl on the Train, they asked him if he’s heard any word on Drac’s return and the plans for a monster team-up.

“There have been talks and conversations. I think the bigger picture is exciting for all the monsters that they own. There is talk about it. I just don’t know how it will all manifest itself. I think it will happen and I think they’re just working out how these monsters interact and how they end up in the same realm with each other. If they can stick Captain America in a scene with Iron Man and Thor, I think you can definitely put Wolf Man, the Invisible Man, The Mummy and Dracula in the same film as well.”

The return of the Universal Monsters is a star-studded affair that will include Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe in The Mummy (in theaters June 9, 2017), and Johnny Depp in The Invisible Man, with the studio targeting Angelina Jolie for Bride of Frankenstein, Scarlett Johansson in The Creature From the Black Lagoon, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for The Wolfman. Javier Bardem is most recently in talks to star as Frankenstein in Universal’s cinematic universe with rebooted versions of classic monster movies.
