Netflix’s Two New Frankenstein Movies Can Finally Make Up For Universal’s Failed Dark Universe Starring Tom Cruise

Netflix is developing not one but two Frankenstein movies, and they could make up for Universal’s most recent failed cinematic universe of monsters. Frankenstein is the classic Mary Shelley novel about a sympathetic monster that readers could relate to even when he was wreaking havoc. The character was rejected by society for the way he looked, and as a result, resorted to violence because he couldn’t cope with the conflicted feelings he had. Ever since 1931, there have been a number of media adaptations of the classic novel, with the many Frankenstein movies making the titular scientist’s monster just as much of an iconic screen presence as he is a literary character.
