Luke Evans Talks Putting the Bite on Dracula… AGAIN!
With Universal looking to create an Avengers type scenario for its line of monsters, all eyes are on the studio to see how they’ll make it work and who will be playing whom. Enter Luke Evans, who played Dracula in Dracula Untold.
During an interview with Evans, who was promoting The Girl on the Train, the actor dropped the following update on LRM and fans as to the progress of the monster mash.
“There have been talks and conversations. I think the bigger picture is exciting for all the monsters that they own. There is talk about it. I just don’t know how it will all manifest itself. I think it will happen, and I think they’re just working out how these monsters interact and how they end up in the same realm with each other. If they can stick Captain America in a scene with Iron Man and Thor, I think you can definitely put Wolf Man, the Invisible Man, The Mummy, and Dracula in the same film as well.”
The return of the Universal Monsters will include Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe in The Mummy (in theaters June 9, 2017) and Johnny Depp in The Invisible Man, with the studio targeting Angelina Jolie for Bride of Frankenstein, Scarlett Johansson in The Creature From the Black Lagoon, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for The Wolfman. Most recently Javier Bardem was in talks to star as Doctor Frankenstein in Universal’s cinematic universe.
Stay tuned.
