Universal Monsters - Wikipedia
2 weeks ago - The studio revealed a slate of films, but following the poor critical reception and underwhelming box office performance of The Mummy (2017), Universal cancelled pre-production that had begun on Bride of Frankenstein which was to be the next film in the franchise, and postponed all plans for the Dark Universe slate of films. In January 2018, the production studio began reconfiguring their approach to the Universal Monsters, and following the departures of Kurtzman and Morgan from their roles as co-architects of the franchise, the studio decided to abandon a shared cinematic universe in favor of returning to standalone adaptations of the characters instead.

Here's Every Spooky Monster You'll Encounter at Epic Universe's Dark Universe
The character of Victoria is original to the Dark Universe, and her name pays tribute to Dr. Frankenstein’s original name, Victor, as given in Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel before being changed to Henry for the Universal films. However, many of Universal’s classic Frankenstein films played with similar ideas of the original Frankenstein’s descendants continuing their ancestor’s work.

As per latest update none for now.
From variety:
“Throughout cinematic history, Universal’s classic monsters have been reinvented through the prism of each new filmmaker who brought these characters to life,” said Peter Cramer, Universal’s president of production. “We are excited to take a more individualized approach for their return to screen, shepherded by creators who have stories they are passionate to tell with them.”
So the first individualized Universal monster movie will be The Invisible Man (not The Bride of Frankenstein which was expected) -- but Universal have changed their mind so many times so we can never be sure.
Previously Dracula Untold was supposed to be the first film in Dark Universe which was a moderate success too but later Kurtzman confirmed that it's not. And The Mummy (2017) also underperformed as per expectation and now this individualized approach seems to indicate the end of Dark Universe for now.

Subject to change given the lack of success of The Mummy:
- Frankenstein
- Bride of Frankenstein
- Dracula
- Creature from the Black Lagoon
- Phantom of the Opera
- Hunchback of Notre Dame
- The Invisible Man
“We know we’re going to do Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Phantom of the Opera, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Invisible Man,”
....according to Alex Kurtzman (creative mind behind the Dark Universe, and director and producer of The Mummy)

Other possibles...
- The Wolfman
- Van Helsing
- Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde
Note that according to Wikipedia, some (or all) of these are in doubt.
The second film for the franchise was slated to be a remake of Bride of Frankenstein, rumored to star Angelina Jolie in the title role. The film was given a release date of February 18, 2019, and was set to begin filming in February of 2018. On November 8, 2017, Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan moved on to other projects, leaving the future of the Dark Universe in doubt. On January 15, 2018, it was reported by Omega Underground that the film's production team had been re-assembled and the franchise was now eyeing Gal Gadot for the lead role.
