As Universal’sThe Mummy’s July 01, 2025 release date inches closer and closer, more information is beginning to emerge on the other films in the proposed monster reboot.

So, yeah, that’s different. Considering all of the tough guys that Callaham has written for in the past, it’s looking like it’s a pretty safe bet that Universal plans on takingThe Wolfmanin the action-packed The Rock direction as opposed to the more serious and dramatic direction that comes along with a Guzikowski script.
