The Invisible Man Review - 10 Key Questions Answered
10. Is It A Reboot Of The Dark Universe?
The film is most definitely not a reboot of the Dark Universe franchise, unless the DU is going down a very different path entirely. While seeing a Jekyll and Hyde story explored from inside a relationship would be an interesting modernisation, it does seem unlikely they'll go down this path.

The far more likely scenario appears to be that the DU will go down the DCEU franchise route of standalone films. This will allow for more risk taking in the storytelling as is present in this film, and may allow a more authentic retelling of films such as Dracula and Frankenstein.
As long as they stay as far away from The Mummy debacle as possible, then the DU will be fine.
