2025's Wolf Man reboot's release planned for January 2025, there's a shockingly small amount of material available about the project so far. A teaser trailer offered some glimpses at the various cast , but many of the plot details are rather vague. Blumhouse Productions revealed some footage at CinemaCon, showing the lead star being bitten by the beast, establishing the film's werewolf conflict.
Wolf Man is arriving in a sudden wave of monster movies following 2020's success with The Invisible Man reboot. Other films include Nosferatu, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, and more, but there's currently no indication that any of these projects will be connected, akin to Universal Pictures' classic monsters universe. For now, Wolf Man looks to be a standalone horror with no connections to the Dark Universe or any other movies.
