James Wan is finally done with ‘Aquaman’ and already has a couple of projects lined up. It’s already been announced that he is adapting “The Call of Cthulhu,” based on the 1928 H.P. Lovecraft short story of the same name. However, Wan has seemingly lined up another film as his potential next project.

Daniel Richtman is reporting that Wan is set to direct “Creature From the Black Lagoon” for Universal. This is a remake of the 1954 classic which tackled a strange prehistoric beast lurking in the depths of the Amazonian jungle and the group of scientists who try to capture the animal to bring it back to civilization for study.

Will Beall, who penned Wan’s ‘Aquaman,’ is writing the screenplay. The film will most likely be part of Universal’s “Monsterverse” which already includes “The Invisible Man” and the upcoming “Wolfman.”

And here I thought he used Malignant to get out of horror. (Note: Malignant is a masterpiece of bad faith cinema and is genuinely hilarious)

I've never heard the phrase "bad faith cinema" but having seen the movie I immediately understand it

And the upcoming wolfman? Didn’t benicio del toro already do one? And I know the mummy with Tom cruise didn’t do well, but is that included also? Their constant attempts at a dark universe are just sad at this point.

I believe Ryan Gosling is doing it and it’s already in the can. I could be wrong.

I quite liked the Del Toro one, tbh. Really no need to reboot it again.

Looking forward to Cthulhu.
But I've already seen The Shape of Water.
