Story Plot

Based off of the scrapped idea of the Dark Universe, this series explores the notion that the Universal Classic Monsters were rebooted for the modern day in a cinematic universe like the MCU or the Monsterverse. The series would largely have been comprised of Gothic horror movies, the first few introducing the main monsters and the next phases allowing them to meet, and new monsters to be introduced.

Unlike other films in the franchise, this film linked back to a previous remake, acting as a sequel to the 2010 film of the same name and thereby making the 2010 Wolf Man the technical beginning of the series. The film follows members of the London elite after new attacks by a "Wolf-Man" break out. Meanwhile, the culprit, Francis Aberline, is trying to live with his condition as best he can, and wishes to isolate himself as best he can. The story thereby sets up these two threads through the perspective of Francis' niece Mary, who, whilst unaware of her father's affliction, believes there may be more humanity to the wolf man than meets the eye.

This film was met with reasonably positive reception, and deemed an improvement over the previous Wolf Man film, but worse than all others in the main Dark Universe that had came before.

  • I remember there being rumors of Dwayne Johnson playing the part in this universe
  • That would be interesting. idk how well he could do it, but he is a skilled actor, so I'd imagine it'd be at the very least memorable
