A Sequel To The Invisible Man Starring Elizabeth Moss
Following the runaway monster movie success of The Invisible Man (2020), Universal quickly approached the film's star, Elizabeth Moss (who played Cecilia "Cee" Kass), about appearing in a follow-up. Moss elected to tackle a new interpretation of The Invisible Woman, a comedic spinoff of the original The Invisible Man (1933) produced by Universal in 1940. The new sequel to the Invisible Man reboot will likely have little to do with the original. No release date has been announced but Moss gave...
A Sci-Fi Western Directed By Chloé Zhao
Dracula is the most iconic character in the Universal Monsters catalog while also being one of the most recognizable figures in all of pop culture.

Scarlett Johansson Is Circling A Frankenstein Spinoff
There are several projects currently in development that are new takes on the iconic Bride of Frankenstein, including a film set to star Scarlett Johansson.

A Wolfman Remake Starring Christopher Abbott
Originally slated to appear as a Dark Universe film (and rumored to star Dwayne Johnson in the lead role), Universal's latest attempt to reboot the Wolfman is moving forward at Blumhouse, though it has gone through its own tumultuous production process as well.

Paul Feig's Monster Team-Up Movie

Writer/director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, the 2016 Ghostbusters) will take on the big-budget project. Feige has called the story one of his all-time favorites, and despite budgetary concerns from the studio, Feig has promised to see the film through to completion. However, the latest update on Dark Army did not sound promisi...
