It’s Going To Be A Dark Universe At Universal

In a press release sent out, Universal announced Dark Universe, which is the name they’ve now given to their burgeoning shared world. Not only that, but they’ve also released the project’s official logo and provided a group shot of some of the key players set to bring these films to life. Included in the picture are Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe and Sofia Boutella of The Mummy, Johnny Depp of The Invisible Man and Javier Bardem, who we can now confirm will star as Frankenstein.

The Mummy will be kicking everything off on June 9th. It’ll then be followed by Bill Condon’s Bride of Frankenstein, which is set to release on February 14th, 2019.

Condon said “At its organizing principle, Dark Universe films are connected by a mysterious multi-national organization known as Prodigium. Led by the enigmatic and brilliant Dr. Henry Jekyll, Prodigium’s mission is to track, study and—when necessary—destroy evil embodied in the form of monsters in our world. Working outside the aegis of any government, and with practices concealed by millennia of secrecy, Prodigium protects the public from knowledge of the evil that exists just beyond the thin membrane of civilized society…and will go to any length to contain it.”
