Universal has just released a press release, claiming a new release date for one of its upcoming monster movies. The as-yet-untitled film will act as the third entry in a burgeoning cinematic universe featuring its iconic pantheon of classic movie monsters.
Universal has yet to say which film it just announced, only saying that it will arrive on February 15, 2019. The film will share a universe with the upcoming reboot of The Mummy starring Tom Cruise (slated to arrive on June 9, 2017), and Johnny Depp’s The Invisible Man, which lacks a definite release date. That particular project could either take this new February 2019 slot, or a previously-claimed April 13, 2018 release date also occupied by an “untitled monster movie.”
The new Universal monsters movie universe is being headed by Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and Chris Morgan (Furious 7). We’re still not sure which monsters will end up occupying the movie universe, though it’s likely that Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon will be among them.
