How is this monster universe gonna work?


Are they gonna make a team and fight other monsters or something?

At this point I honest to god don't know. Maybe Tom Cruise's character encounters different ones in the films?

Whatever you are, be a good one.

They're going the Marvel Cinematic Universe approach and going to follow that blueprint.

If the team fights and kills monster , then it will another monster Squad , you don't need a shared Universe .

but if not all the monster get kills off in each movie , then the the Monsters will join force and tries to takeover the world

That's exactly what it will be.

The guy in charge gave an interview and said at first, it's going to be a series of independent films, and that people have to like them first, and then they'll bring it all together. So they're basically doing the Marvel blueprint. But yes, what exactly is the end game of a shared universe?? What is a team of monsters supposed to do? I don't see it working out. Van Helsing was cool, but I don't need more of that.

The Mummy is already set to be followed by new versions of The Wolfman, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein, and Van Helsing. Whether they’re all going to one day meet up in one big film, however, has not been decided and, for Kurtzman, part of the fun is figuring out how it might eventually work and paying homage to classic monster crossovers like Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man.

So no Avengers-style films planned yet but probably stuff like Black Widow in Iron Man 2.

The same way they started to do it in the 40s?
