THE REAL MCU

Who's ready for Universal's Monster Shared Universe (MCU)?

>Tom Cruise headlining THE MUMMY, with Sofia Boutella as the Mummy.

>Scarlett Johansson headlining CREATURE OF THE BLACK LAGOON.

>Johnny Depp headlining THE INVISIBLE MAN

>Russell Crowe in talks for DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE

>Angelina Jolie in talks for BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.

>THE WOLFMAN, FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA and VAN HELSING also confirmed.

>They'll probably join forces to battle a greater evil.

It's a great prelude to the cinematic masterpiece that will be the Robin Hood Cinematic Universe.

DARK UNIVERSE: THE MUMMY (June 9, 2017)

>During a raid on a abandoned bunker in Iraq, military officer Tyler Holt (Tom Cruise) accidentally awakens the mummy of a powerful Egyptian priestess (Sofia Boutella), and their minds become connected, affording Holt the power to sense the Mummy's movements. He is then recruited by Brotherhood of the Temple, a secret society sworn to defend humankind from supernatural creatures, to prevent the mummy from unleashing Hell on Earth.

DARK UNIVERSE: THE WOLFMAN (March 30, 2018)

>A young man learns that he is cursed by bloodline to become a monstrous wolfman that preys upon the innocent in the chill of the night. As he attempts to control the beast that dwells within, he must also evade warriors from the Brotherhood of the Temple sworn to destroy him, and a much more ravenous foe that stalks in the shadows.

They even have their own SHIELD.

Are these meant to be in the same universe as Dracula Untold? Because I remember hearing that some of the stuff in that movie was meant to be part of a shared continuity that Universal was developing.

>no Brendan

Tom Cruize is a poor man's Brendan Fraser

So what will this give me that Penny Dreadful doesn't already?

sounds fucking awful, also it's relation to Sup Forums is tenuous at best

Huh? Is this really a thing? I thought the resounding failure of Dracula Untold had put that idea to rest.

Spectacle

WOW! Look at all this meme people who everyone is already tired of. And more than half can't even act

...

That all sounds like complete shit.
>they probably won't even be period pieces
fuck this

>They'll probably join forces to battle a greater evil.
What greater evil could they use that's in the public domain or Universals license, thought?

I'm calling aliens.

Or maybe they're absolute madmen and they'll use something from Lovecraft.

>implying

It's going to be the "thing" for the next few years just like 3D was after Avatar. It doesn't matter if these flop, they'll just take the pieces and try again, and again, and again for a good half-decade. This is considered a better investment then new IP.

>implying Penny Dreadful doesn't have spectacle on an acting level

>Johnny Depp headlining THE INVISIBLE MAN
>hiring a character actor to portray someone invisible
Are you kidding?

Wasn't Dracula Untold supposed to be this?

I don't think these studios realize that you need to have at least one or two entries do well first before you can start calling your thing a "cinematic universe".

You plan the universe according to the reception, not to start

No, "Dracula Untold" flopped, so it was disowned.

It's the ultimate character performance to play someone that isn't there.

>Period pieces
The description of the Mummy says Tom Cruise will be raising bunkers in Iraq, that pretty much confirms "muh zeitgeist"

>Don't care about
>Don't care about
>Don't care about
>Might be good
>Really don't care about
>All 4 might be good

It had a pretty nice profit. $217.1 million on a $70 million budget.

>raising bunkers

How does he round them when they're naughty?

Fucking why.

And Brendan Fraser is a poor man

How is this Sup Forums related?

When do we get Key and Peele Meet Frankenstein?

Donde esta Brendon?

>Even director Stephen Sommers wasn't safe from Fraser's twisted vision.

>"One time I yelled 'CUT' and Brendan turned to me and said 'What if someone just stood in the middle of a courtroom and yelled 'JUST'. Maybe the judges in gowns would forget their trained routine of making me pay alimony.' My jaw hit the floor and it never really came back up. That's when I thought, is he getting in character to play a cuck, or is being a cuck something that's been in him all along?"

>"Sometimes i would go to look into the cameras, and I noticed Brendan had put something in the lens. It was stuff like 'What if my marriage didn't end in divorce? Would my shit still be fucked?' and 'LIGHTS. CAMERA. ALIMONY.' I had to ask him to stop because I was feeling too sorry for him to direct."

Don't tell me this is the reason why DC's Dark Universe won't get made.

Sup Forums is the new Sup Forums

They're rebooting the mummy? Again?!

Who owns the rights to Mummies Alive? Fox? I'd like to seem them try to movie-reboot that.

>They couln't get Brendan Fraser
back.

Brendan can't afford internet, so they couldn't contact him.

I know the president of the Brendan Fraser fan club so he's got that going for him.

Sup Forums seriously

Just watch Penny Dreadful instead.

I can't wait to see how they completely fucking waste my time with another Frankenstein and Dorian plot.
Though now that they're intermixed it should be very efficient time wasting.

Oubviously a typo, but I'd imagine he'd threaten to give them out to ISIS if they don't behave.

...

You appear to be lost freind, I think you're looking for either or maybe

>I don't want to post on Sup Forums, did you see that board?

So Dracula Untold is confirmed to be a part of it?

It probably broke even considering domestic is where it counts

kek

This isn't Sup Forums, fuck off you retarded niggers.

too many monsters for a shared universe

Also they will get super old if by the time they did a crossover movie

It's not.

This is the first time I've ever said this but honestly this is not Sup Forums related at all.

Holy shit this is real, I thought this was some fanfiction-tier shit you just made up on the spot.

For a minute I forgot this is not Sup Forums

Oh so they are gonna do a new Dracula

>They'll probably join forces to battle a greater evil.
Mountain of Madness movie confirmed?

They will rip off The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Yep.

They say he will be starring in a Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves re-imagining: Ali's Money

Yes, Drac Untold is part of it. But the changes they made were so minor it probably won't impavt anything anyway.

Man, I cannot fucking WAIT for some of these. Especially Creature.

Who wil the creature from the Black Lagoon be raping?

>more ScarJo
I can hardly wait.
>unamusedfrog.tiff.exe

I'd watch it

Hey, you take the sour with the sweet sometimes.

As long as the damn thing gets made.

So they're really serious about this? Seriously?

Any chances of any of these movies actually being any good?

Well it didn't work as one movie and someone already has the license what do we do now.

That photo of Cruise makes it look like he should be the one playing a mummy.

The actors are pretty good.

Then again Alex Kurtzman is their Kevin Feige.

We're also getting a Hasbro cinematic universe with Transformers, G.I. Joe and Micronauts.

We can only hope.

I really want them to.

>Robin Hood Cinematic Universe
>mfw it's real
>mfw Friar Tuck movie

And ROM. And M.A.S.K.

Well, it certainly has potential.

why aren't mods doing their fucking job?

If it eventually leads to a Inhumanoids revamp, I'm all for it.

that sounds pretty cool

but didnt they try that with dracula untold?

>>Sup Forums

>mods

Yes. DU is the first movie, until something states otherwise.

...

At least if they make a ROM movie the faggots might finally allow reprints of the comics.

Why are you triggered?

I'm hoping IDW will do that soon, since their new ROM series starts in July.

It has already been stated.

>THE INVISIBLE MAN
That movie seems interesting to see, if this movie is well written and done right, then I'll look forward watching this flick.

Link?

>Monster Cinematic Universe
>Kaiju Cinematic Universe
Is this the end of capekino?

Well at least when there's a believable level of destruction in kaiju movies, autists won't shitpost GODZILLA OF MURDER threads.

...

>During a raid on a abandoned bunker in Iraq, military officer Tyler Holt accidentally awakens the mummy of a powerful Egyptian priestess
>Iraq
>Egyptian priestess

wut? Also wasn't the mummy supposed to be some Assyrian king?

>Universal Monsters
>Modern Day setting

God dammit

That was changed so Tom Cruise can have sexual tension with the Mummy.

I believe it

Neither title you gave this universe can be given the MCU acronym...
Universal's Monsters Shared Universe would be UMSU or MSU

>Monster Cinimatic Universe

I think they wait for it to cross 100 posts

For what purpose.

Yeah OP didn't mention that in the title.
Considering the Marvel CU predates this (New) universe, they'd still have to go with UMCU for Universal's Monster Cinematic Universe.
Or MCU 2 as its the 2nd iteration

Universal Horror Universe?

desu I think threads below 100 posts and less number of people reporting it makes it low priority for them

Honestly sounds way better, or Universal Monster Universe.
But yeah, definitely want "Universal" in there somewhere
