Conceptualized as and intended to be a shared cinematic universe in the style of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Universal reassessed and reconfigured their plans to instead develop individualized films, with stand-alone installments. The first film in the Dark Universe franchise was Dracula Untold (2014), followed by The Mummy (2017), and The Invisible Man (2020). The franchise will continue with multiple future adaptations in various stages of development.
Development
Originally conceived as a cinematic universe that was officially titled the Dark Universe, with multiple crossovers and inter-connectivity between films, the label is now used colloquially by some media outlets to refer to Universal Pictures' rebooted franchises. Conceptualized as a shared universe, the studio had announced the projects in development with a press release announcing the intellectual property's title, a trailer, casting announcements, and official theme music composed by Danny Elfman. Casting included: Russell Crowe as Dr. Henry Jekyll / Mr. Edward Hyde, Javier Bardem as the Frankenstein's Monster, and Johnny Depp as The Invisible Man. They joined Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella, as Nick Morton and Princess Ahmanet / The Mummy. Additional rebooted adaptations of characters was also announced, including: Van Helsing, the Wolf Man, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Phantom of the Opera, and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan were announced as co-runners of the Dark Universe, with collaborations from David Koepp and Christopher McQuarrie.[1]
After mixed critical reception to the first two installments, Universal halted development on further projects, while their plans for future releases were reassessed.[2] Despite this, in May 2018, artist Robert Vargas announced from his social media account that he had attended a meeting with the studio and would collaborate on the Dark Universe character designs moving forward.[3] During this period of time, Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan left their roles as co-architects of the franchise,[2] while successful horror film producer Jason Blum had at various times publicly expressed his interest in reviving and working on future installments within the Dark Universe franchise.[4][5] By January 2019, the studio announced plans to develop individualized films, with stand-alone installments.[6] After signing to collaborate on several of the reboots in development, Blum stated in November 2020 that control of the Dark Universe remains under the direction of Universal Pictures.[7]

Dracula Untold (2014)
The studio's first attempt at launching their shared universe, Dracula Untold was originally developed prior to the plans for a shared universe of horror films. The studio decided to retool the movie to be the first installment of the franchise, with re-shoots adding a modern-day setting at the end of the film. Starring Luke Evans in the eponymous role, the plot incorporated elements regarding the real-life Vlad Drăculea in an fictionalized origin story where he becomes the vampire, Dracula. Released on October 10, 2014, the film's mixed financial and critical reception resulted in the film's presence within the franchise to be downplayed. Evans has remained attached to the role, with potential to return in a future film.[8][9]
The Mummy (2017)
Originally announcing plans for a reboot of The Mummy franchise in 2012, Universal marketed The Mummy as the first film in the Dark Universe. Alex Kurtzman served as director and co-writer,[10][11] The Mummy was released on June 9, 2017. Critics panned the film. Universal deemed the domestic ticket sales to be, underwhelming box office returns.[12] Due to the poor reception, Universal removed additional films from their scheduled release dates, while the future of the franchise was reassessed.
The Invisible Man (2020)
The project was initially announced in February 2016 as a part of the Dark Universe with Johnny Depp cast in the lead role and a script by Ed Solomon. By January 2019, it was announced to be retooled as a stand-alone feature film written and directed by Leigh Whannell with an acknowledgement that Depp had the option to remain cast as the titular monster.[13] The project was a joint-production between Universal Pictures, Blumhouse Productions, Nervous Tick, and Goalpost Pictures. Jason Blum and Kylie du Fresne served as the producers.
Elisabeth Moss and Oliver Jackson-Cohen were cast as the lead characters, Cecilia Kass and Adrian Griffin / the Invisible Man, respectively.[14][15][16] Principal photography commenced in July 2019, and continued into September 2019.[17] The Invisible Man was released on February 28, 2020.[18] Later, Whannell stated that the movie was developed as a stand-alone installment, and was not developed with a greater cinematic universe in mind.[19]
