‘Dracula’ and ‘The Mummy’ Complete Legacy Collections Coming to Blu-ray
Last year I picked up the Universal Monsters: Essential Collection Blu-ray set, which is an absolute must-own for all fans of Universal’s classic monster movies. The set includes all 8 core movies along with all sorts of special features and bonus goodies; what it unfortunately doesn’t include, however, are the various sequels and spinoffs to films like Dracula and The Wolf Man.
All of those follow-up films can be found alongside the originals in Universal’s Legacy Collection releases – none of which, until last year, made their way onto Blu-ray. At the tail end of last year, Universal began bringing the Legacy Collection to Blu-ray with high-def sets for Frankenstein and The Wolf Man, and we’re happy to report that Dracula and The Mummy are next.
Set for release on May 16th, the Dracula: Complete Legacy Collection and The Mummy: Complete Legacy Collection Blu-ray sets each contain all six original legacy films.

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
