There's no doubt that we're in the era of Universal Monsters, with classic horror villains such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Werewolf all getting their own modern remakes. But there is one monster missing, The Phantom.
Just this year, we have a new Frankenstein movie from Guillermo del Toro heading to Netflix, as well as Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man due to claw onto screens as we speak. Plus there is a new Mummy movie in the works, and the classic vampire tale Nosferatu is still at large in movie theaters too. Even The Invisible Man was resurrected in Whannell's 2019 movie of the same name, and The Creature from the Black Lagoon saw a modernization with Del Toro's 2017 flick The Shape of Water.
