‘The Invisible Man’: First Look At Elisabeth Moss In The Universal Reboot

Universal has revealed new photos of Elisabeth Moss in the upcoming reboot of The Invisible Man.

After Universal’s The Mummy debuted to negative reviews and poor box office numbers, the studio reassessed its plans for a cinematic universe costing of its classic movie monsters. While Johnny Depp had signed on to portray the eponymous villain of the Invisible Man reboot, those plans changed after Universal opted to table the concept of a shared universe for the time being and instead focus individual, filmmaker-driven projects.

Now, Upgrade director Leigh Whannell will reboot The Invisible Man with The Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss as lead protagonist Cecilia Kass. Entertainment Weekly has released three new photos from the Invisible Man reboot that offer fans a hint at the terror Elisabeth Moss will face when she suspects her abusive ex-husband faked his death and continues to haunt her.
