Yo no tengo poderes de videncia, ¿donde firmo?

Se confirma, el personaje de Crowe es el punto de nexo de todo este universo. Dracula Untold no es canon, segun sus responsables.

"No." It looks like The Mummy will be the new introduction to the world Universal is building, a concept that Kurtzman says started with the studio to begin with. "The thing people forget is that the Universal Monsters were the first mash-up; they were the first universe built. It started with, I think, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, and that was the first time that they put them together and then from there they started cross-pollinating all the monsters. But that was only because Frankenstein had succeeded so many times as a film, and had spawned its own sequels, and Wolf Man had done the same, that Universal was at a point where they said, 'God, we don’t know what to do with these characters anymore. Why don’t we put them together?' and then new stories emerged."

Kurtzman also elaborated on Russell Crow's Dr. Jekyll, and his role in The Mummy. While audiences know Jekyll due to his own literary history, Kurtzman and Tom Cruise wanted to implement the character in a way that would help build the shared universe without taking away from the overall focus on the mummy herself. "In looking to figure out how to place The Mummy in a larger context and setting up this organization that has actually been dealing with monsters for longer than any of us have been around, it became clear that we needed somebody to be the voice of that organization. The next thought was like, 'Well, it could be Joe Mcgillicuddy, or we could actually go into another character that makes sense organically.' It was a real point of conversation with Tom [Cruise]. And part of what Tom’s character, Nick, learns about the mummy and about the history of the mummy comes through Jekyll’s very deep understanding of monsters and how monsters have existing quietly in this world for eons."
