The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man is on the list of upcoming Universal horror stories, and there has even been some casting movement on it. Johnny Depp has been confirmed for the role, which is BIG news. Except... Depp also just surfaced as a key role in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise. Does that mean he will be tied up in THAT universe, and unable to play in Universal's monster sandbox for long? Also, the tone of these horror stories could slightly shift in genre when this one finally comes out. Initially based on a sci-fi story by H.G. Wells, The Invisible Man has inspired sci-fi, horror and comedy installments. His story also has been accounted for on the stage, and on radio. It's hard to know the film's direction until a director takes the reigns, though, and given who comes before him, it could be years until we "see" the Invisible Man on screen.
