Elisabeth Moss has provided an update on the long-gestating second outing for The Invisible Man.
Released just before the global pandemic hit in 2020, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man was not only one of the best film’s of that year, but it grossed $144 million off a budget of just $7 million. It’s surprising then that despite immediate talk of a sequel, with James Wan and Jason Blum both signalling their intention to work on a follow-up, the Universal monster has lived up to his moniker by remaining hidden in the intervening half-decade.
Now in an interview with Screen Rant, the Emmy Award winning Handmaid’s Tale actor has revealed that they are still working on a sequel.
“I feel like it’s important. We love that movie so much. The people who made it…we’re so proud of it,” she said. ” We really want to make sure if we do a sequel, it’s worthy and it’s going to have to be as good if not better. So that’s been kind of what’s slowed us down.”
Moss continued, “But I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I think if we’re going to do it, it’s got to be right. But we still want to do it. We’re still working on it. We just have to get the right script together.”
Next up for Moss is horror-comedy Shell, in which she stars alongside Kate Hudson as a woman who makes a Faustian pact with a wellness mogul hiding a terrible secret.
