Wolf Man Filmmaker Confirms Reboot’s Connection to The Invisible Man
Once upon a time, there was a plan for a “Dark Universe” featuring reboots of Universal Monsters, but when Tom Cruise’s The Mummy didn’t create much excitement about that shared cinematic universe, those plans mostly fell apart. However, in 2020, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man became a success with both viewers and critics, sparking a renewed interest in classic monsters. He then announced a new take on The Wolf Man as a follow-up to his previous project, which he described as a “companion piece.” Although these projects may not have a strong narrative connection, they will continue the themes that Whannell introduced in 2020. The Wolf Man is scheduled for release in theaters on January 17, 2025.
