Even if you don't see him coming, The Invisible Man is set to head back into theaters soon. Now, we know who might be in contention to bring the classic Universal Pictures monster to life once again.
According to a new report from via ThatHashTagShow, Armie Hammer and Alexander Skarsgard are both in consideration for the film's lead role of sociopath Adrian Griffin in the upcoming film.

The film is a reboot of the 1933 classic horror film of the same name. The original film revolves around Doctor Jack Griffin, a chemist who discovers an invisibility-inducing drug and uses it to try and dominate the world. The story itself is based on the 1897 sci-fi novel of the same name by H.G. Wells.
The project was first announced back in 2016, back when it was intended to take place within the planned Dark Universe, which was launched with 2017's The Mummy (directed by Alex Kurtzman). The critical and financial failure of that film forced Universal to reconsider its approach, leading to the postponement of Bride of Frankenstein and The Invisible Man.

Back in January, Universal announced the Dark Universe would be scrapped but that development of The Invisible Man would go ahead with Leigh Whannell attached as writer and director with Jason Blum producing. Johnny Depp, who had previously been cast as Adrian Griffin, had departed from the film, leaving the starring role open. Elisabeth Moss however, is currently in talks to play Cecilia Kass.
No release date has been announced, but production is scheduled to begin in May, 2019.
