If successful enough, the movies could eventually lead to a new Creature From The Black Lagoon, but apparently we’re not there yet.
Today is actually a significant day for Universal’s Dark Universe franchise, as multiple official announcements were made by the studio – but it’s worth noting that a new The Creature From The Black Lagoon movie was not mentioned in the news.
In addition to having Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella as the headliners of The Mummy, and Russell Crowe playing Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, the monster films have also locked in Javier Bardem as Frankenstein’s monster, and Johnny Depp as The Invisible Man.
