Armie Hammer And Alexander Skarsgard Reportedly Universal's Top Picks To Play THE INVISIBLE MAN

The "Dark Universe" may be dead, but Universal still plans on moving forward with reboots of its classic monster movies, and we have word on which actors the studio is looking at to play The Invisible Man.

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.

Well they're certainly going for a certain look.

Maybe Skarsgard and Hammer aren't the best actors to represent the social invisibility of African-americans in the early twentieth-century, the relationship between black identity and Marxism, and the reformist racial policies of Booker T. Washington, as well as issues of individuality and personal identity.

Any of them would be good picks but wow do they look very alike when you put together a header such as that one.

I feel like these guys are the POLAR OPPOSITE of who they should be looking for. But with them in mind, you can tell what they are going for in this movie...

Griffin has albinism in the original novel and is a sniveling, connviing piece of shit who is callous and only pursues the experiment for his ego. He was always off his rocker and the drug just amplified his already shaky mental foundation.

Someone like Jesse Plemons would be ideal imo
