So we reported a few weeks ago we reported that Universal are moving ahead with their Invisible Man movie (here) albeit as a standalone adventure and no longer part of the Dark Universe shared universe project.
Well, now we have a bit of news on who will be the star of the movie… Mad Men star Elizabeth Moss.
Sources say the negotiations are in the extremely early stages, but if they were to move forward, Moss would star in the film with “Upgrade” filmmaker Leigh Whannell writing and directing. Sources also indicate that Johnny Depp, who was originally tapped to play the title character, will not be involved.
As of yet, it hasn’t been revealed who Moss will be playing in the movie, but given the current trend, we’d imagine there’s a very good chance they’re looking at gender -swopping the role. And, we’d imagine, the title of the movie.
That said, she may not be the titular character at all, but we do know Moss is a superb actress and we’ll hold on hope that Universal isn’t just being as lazy as we fear they are here.
Thoughts?

He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
