During a recent interview with Fandom, Dark Universe producer Alex Kurtzman revealed that in addition to The Mummy, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Invisible Man, Frankenstein’s monster and the Bride of Frankenstein… The Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Phantom of the Opera will also be incorporated into the Dark Universe. Here are some highlights:
On which characters are involved: We know we’re going to do Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Phantom of the Opera, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Invisible Man…”
On expanding the universe: “There are characters within those films that can grow and expand and maybe even spin off. I think that digging into deep mythologies about monsters around the world is fair game for us, as well and connecting the monsters that we know to some surprising monsters could also be really interesting.”
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…”
