Roll forward a few years and Universal stole my idea! Well, it wasn't mine to begin with I suppose. The Monsters Dark Cinematic Universe is unfolding as we type. We were properly introduced to this universe in The Mummy (2017) starring Tom Cruise. We even had a reveal for the next in the universe with Russell Crowe as Dr Jekyll for Jekyll and Hyde. As much as The Mummy had it's negative reviews, I still have hope for this universe.
Going back to The Monster Squad. There were rumours of a remake ever since remakes became the norm. As much as remakes are still flowing through Hollywood, they are becoming an annoyance more than anything to most people. So there could be a potential solution. One that could please both fans of the Dark Universe and haters of remakes:
Once we have a few Dark universe movies under our belts, The Mummy, Jekyll and Hyde, Wolfman, Dracula etc etc... we will most likely have an Avengers style finale. What would it be called? The Monsters? Monsters Assemble?..... The Monster Squad?
There are numerous ways to go around it. Or even have spin-offs. The Monster Squad could be a spin-off of some adult version of the Dark universe finale. The possibilities are endless! This way, the fans of the Dark Universe are happy (potentially) that they get their finale. Fans of The Monster Squad (1987) could also be happy since it wouldn't be a full remake of their beloved classic.
Surely I am not the only person thinking this? Some brainiacs at Universal must be plotting this scenario right now!
I'd love to know everyone else's thoughts on this topic.
Wolfman's Got Nards!
