Greg Berlanti's Little Shop of Horrors remake is looking to pick up a pair of Avengers.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Avengers: Endgame alums Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson are in talks to join the movie musical. Johansson is in negotiations to play Audrey, the primary love interest, while Evans would play her abusive boyfriend Orin Scrivello, a sadistic dentist. In the original movie, Steve Martin filled the Scrivello role, with Ellen Green playing Audrey.
Kingsman star Taron Egerton is also circling the project, with Billy Porter on board to star. Edgerton would play protagonist Seymour, the owner of a sentient plant with a penchant for murder. Porter will voice Audrey II, the aforementioned plant.
The 1986 film musical Little Shop of Horrors -- based on the 1960 dark comedy film from Roger Corman -- starred Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn, a down-on-his luck florist who sees his fortunes begin to turn when he comes across a mysterious plant. However, when he realizes that the plant thrives on human blood, his success begins to turn deadly.
The planned remake was originally announced back in December 2016. Since then, the project has seen little traction, but casting appears to be picking up steam with this latest news.
Berlanti's Little Shop of Horrors remake does not yet have a release date. Billy Porter is attached to star as Audrey II.
