Universal's "Avengers" "Dark Army" is reportedly being made into a monster movie

Due to the failure of "The Mummy", the plan to create the "Universal Dark Universe" was shelved. However, Universal has not completely given up, and there is new news about the Universal version of "Avengers" and "Justice League" "Dark Army".

Paul Feig (Mad Men, The Office, Bridesmaids), the screenwriter and director of "Army of Darkness", was interviewed by foreign media and said that Universal is still working hard to promote this project. He wants to create a real "monster" movie rather than a horror movie in the traditional sense.

Paul Feig has completed two drafts of the script. It is said that the film will include both classic monster characters and newly created characters.

Here’s how he thought about Army of Darkness: “For me, it’s about outsiders. Monster movies, a lot of them are made by gay directors, and I’ve read a lot about how these monsters represent social outsiders and how they feel and so on. So that realism and the emotion that’s in it is really important to me.”

"It's not just about scaring people, but what you put into these scenes and these characters. You know, Frankenstein is a tragic character. That's the feeling I want it to have. It's going to be funny, but not a spoof. The interactions between the characters are going to be funny, but at the same time very real and serious. I hope we can do it. Who could have imagined what's going on now? Everything is messed up because of the virus."

In the 1930s and 1940s, Universal created a series of classic monster images, including Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, the Wolf Man and so on.
