When Universal decided to make a share universe featuring their iconic monsters , Dracula Untoldunderwent somereshootsto provide radio link to future movies . Universal was indecisive about the film ’s position as their first prescribed Dark Universe movie thereafter , and finally confirm thatDracula Untoldwasnon - canonand thatThe Mummywould be consider as the first installment in the franchise .

" I opine it was a really enjoyable unconscious process for me . I reckon it emphatically had a few flaws in it but I ’ve had a lot of undecomposed feedback from and I get mass me asking me will there we sequel . We leave it very wide loose , you sleep together , this is a persona who could transcend many different fourth dimension and different flow of history . Who know .
