While The Mummy was repositioned as the first Dark Universe entry, nothing in the story necessarily disregards the events of Dracula Untold either, so it’s still possible Universal could circle back to it.
Universal was indecisive about the film’s position as their first official Dark Universe movie thereafter, and eventually confirmed that Dracula Untold was non-canon and that The Mummy would be regarded as the first installment in the franchise.
When Universal decided to make a shared universe featuring their iconic monsters, Dracula Untold underwent some reshoots to provide links to future movies.
Dracula Untold star Luke Evans is still hopeful his take on the eponymous character will be included in the Dark Universe, as the actor revealed in a new interview.
