We recently
found out that While the shared "Dark Universe" is no more, Universal still plans to "take an individualized approach to its classic monster movies," and first up is
The Invisible Man from
Upgrade director Leigh Whannell.
Following the announcement that Elisabeth Moss is in talks for the role of Cecilia Kass,
That Hashtag Show reports that the studio has narrowed its search for the transparent trickster of the title down to Armie Hammer (
Call Me by Your Name) and Alexander Skarsgard (
Hold The Dark).
Should one of these actors land the part, they'd play Adrian Griffin, "a billionaire sociopath who made his money by developing an invisibility suit for the Department of Defense." This suggests a significant change to the source material, as the character actually turns himself invisible in H.G. Wells' novel.
We'll have to take this as a rumor for the time being, with with production on
The Invisible Man expected to commence in May, we should find out who's been cast in the lead role very soon.
