History WMG / DarkUniverse

Maybe something like ''Film/TwentyOneJumpStreet'' or ''Film/CabinInTheWoods''.

[[WMG: Dracula will eventually appear]]

[[WMG: Assuming Ahmanet survives her movie, the overarching plot will feature her as the BigBad, searching for the other monsters to help her remake the world, claiming that the time of humans is over.]]

* [[spoiler: Presumably jossed, given Ahmanet does not survive the events of ''The Mummy''.]]
** [[spoiler:Considering that coming BackFromTheDead is kind of the entire point of being a mummy, is that really so relevant?]]

[[WMG: Nick Morton will serve a different role in every movie he is in]]

[[WMG: Abraham Van Helsing will eventually appear in a Nick Fury-esque roll]]

[[WMG: These guys will eventually appear.]]

* Zombies - Confirmed kinda; unless the undead [[spoiler:crusaders count as {{Mumm|y}}ies due to Ahmanet being the {{Necromancer}}]].

[[WMG: Members of the Prodigium]]

[[WMG: The whole shared universe will end with a Film/TheMonsterSquad remake]]

[[WMG: Eventually, there will be horror comedies like Creator/AbbottAndCostello.]]
Maybe something like Film/TwentyOneJumpStreet or Film/CabinInTheWoods.

[[WMG: There will be a crossover with Film/MonsterVerse.]]

[[WMG: Prodigium will fight Chtulhu.]]

[[WMG: Dracula, the MonsterProgenitor of vampires, made a deal with the same demon as Ahmanet]]
[[spoiler:Set is Satan]] in this universe, right? Some versions of Dracula became a vampire after selling their soul to him. The difference between Dracula and Ahmanet, however, is that while the latter did it out of a desire to rule, the former did it for a noble cause, only to be corrupted over the centuries.

[[WMG: Quasimodo and Igor will be a CompositeCharacter]]

[[WMG: Frankenstein's Hunchback assistant will finally be called by his correct name, Fritz]]

[[WMG: Gill-man will have Lovecraftian influence.]]
The remake by JohnCarpenter that is in DevelopmentHell was claimed to be influenced by Creator/HPLovecraft.

[[WMG: The Prodigium will be retroactively renamed The Inner Sanctum]]

[[WMG: The movies corresponds to a god]]
For example [[spoiler:Set]] correspond to the Mummy while prometheus and persephone corresponds to Frankenstein and bride of Frankenstein.

[[WMG: The Bride of Frankenstein concept was/still is a one off]]

[[WMG: The movies won't be direct reboots]]
We may not see characters like Larry Talbot or Jack Griffin etc. and like the Mummy, the monster will be more-or-less the same, but the overall stories and characters won't be.

* [[Franchise/{{Tremors}} Monster worms]]

Okay so we already know that there will be a [[Film/Dracula1931 Dracula]], [[Film/Frankenstein1931 Frankenstein's Monster]], Film/BrideOfFrankenstein, [[Film/TheInvisibleMan Invisible Man]], [[Film/WerewolfOfLondon Wolf Man]] and a [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde Mr. Hyde]]. But, we'll also likely get some of these guys at some point:

* [[Film/TheInvisibleMan Dr. Cranley]]

*** A disgraced and exiled member is one [[BrideOfFrankenstein Dr. Septimus Pretorius]], who has an ongoing rivalry with Waldman over a student they both tutored when they were both faculty at Ingolstadt University.

* A quiet [[Literature/PhantomOfTheOpera Persian policeman living in Paris]]

Mr. Hyde will serve as her [[TheDragon right-hand man]]. All the monsters (save Larry Talbot) will join her willingly, but since [[ThePhantomOfTheOpera Erik]] is not really a monster, he will be treated like a slave, leading him to eventually rebel.

* [[Film/TheMummy1999 Imhotep]]

** Perhaps also a [[Film/{{Frankenstein 1931}} Dr. Waldman]] and a [[{{Film/TheMummy1932}} Dr. Muller]], and somebody can comment on [[ActorAllusion how similar those three look to each other]].

* A quiet [[PhantomOfTheOpera Persian policeman living in Paris]]
* [[WerewolfOfLondon Dr. Yogami]], a Tibetan man covered in nasty looking scars

* Gwynplaine, TheManWhoLaughs

For example [[spoiler:Set]] correspond to the Mummy while prometheus and persephone corresponds to Frankenstine and bride of frankenstien

In contrast to the other Monster roles, the rumors on the Bride were of bigger (non-genre) actresses. It's unlikely many would stay long in a Monster mash scenario, but it would be more likely the reason why the Bride movie is before the Frankenstein movie. The Bride won't be a recurring character but like in the original book, it's the death of his mate that makes the Monster go on his bigger rampage. So you can use the bigger actress for the part and set up the more genre-ready Frankenstein for his own monster movie. Bride may in fact also be set in the past, while the Frankenstein picks up with where the monster's been since.

[[WMG: Monster Casting reveals will be slower due to them going to genre and character actors]]
As a balance to get bigger budgets and keep actors they'll stick more to the formula. Such as in the Mummy, bigger hollywood Tom Cruise is the protagonist, newer actress Sofia Boutella with some scifi special effects experience is the mummy. Frankenstein's monster is given to Javier Bardem, whose career is shaping to be going in the horror direction after playing several killers in action flicks. The Invisible Man to genre-favorite Johnny Depp who helps bridge the two being down for effects but having more name value. Hyde goes to Crowe an actor who's past his peak and likewise to slink into more and more genre roles. If a monster is cast with a more established non-genre actor/actress expect them to get killed off for real before the monster mash really gets going.

For example [[spoiler:Set]] correspond to the Mummy while prometheus and persephone corresponds to Frankenstine and bride of frankenstien

* Alternatively, "Inner Sanctum" could be the name of their base in the museum

* Zombies - Confirmed kinda; unless the undead [[spoiler:crusaders count as Trope/{{Mummies}} due to Ahmanet being the {{Necromancer}}]].

* Zombies - Confirmed kinda; unless the undead [[spoiler:crusaders count as {{Mummies}} due to Ahmanet being the {{Necromancer}}]].

* Professor Abraham van Helsing, of course (or a descendent). For all we know he's the organization's head.

It's the name of a Universal Horror film, guys. Come on, don't waste an opportunity.

[[WMG: The Prodigium will be renamed The Inner Sanctum]]

The remake by JohnCarpenter that is in DevelopmentHell was claimed to be influenced by Creator/HPLovecraft.

He's TheHero of Film/TheMummy2017, but the franchise would get stale quick if the same actor served that position in each film. If he appears in ''Bride of Frankenstein'' Morton will just have a supporting role, just enough to justify appearing, but not being the one we follow.

** Perhaps also a [[{{Frankenstein}} Dr. Waldman]] and a [[{{Film/TheMummy1932}} Dr. Muller]], and somebody can comment on [[ActorAllusion how similar those three look to each other]].

Trough a remake of Film/FrankensteinConquersTheWorld.

* [[Film/VanHelsing Dracula's servants]]

* well it sounds nice in theory, 99% of comedy films made today (including 21 Jump Street) royally suck (the 1% being Deadpool)

Two immortal conquerors with demonic power given to them by the GodOfEvil, one being especially known for his seductive charm? (Though who can say whether it's just mutual exploitation or genuine UnholyMatrimony)

* Alternatively, Quasimodo will be a CompositeCharacter with Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera both being Parisian.

* Zombies - Confirmed kinda; unless the undead [[spoiler:crusaders count as Trope/{{Mummies}} due to Ahmanet being the {{Necromancer}}]].
