Furthermore, it’s not clear if Bardem will join the Universal Monsters Movie Franchise before, after, or during Bride of Frankenstein, which begs the question of just how his entry into the existing movie universe will ultimately come about and unfold.
According to Variety, Oscar winning actor Javier Bardem (Skyfall) is in talks to appear as Frankenstein in an upcoming entry in the Universal Monsters Movie Franchise.
With such monumental talents as Johnny Depp, the Universal Monsters Movie Franchise might yet give the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe a run for its money.
It’s worth noting that Variety‘s report doesn’t specify whether Bardem is being eyed to play Dr. Victor Frankenstein or the Frankenstein monster in Universal’s rebooted monster film universe.
