As Blumhouse continues its preparations for the Universal Monsters movie The Invisible Man, That Hashtag Show is reporting that director Leigh Whannell (Upgrade) has narrowed his casting search for the title role, and no – it’s not John Cena.
According to the site, Armie Hammer (Call Me By Your Name) and Alexander Skarsgard (The Hummingbird Project) are said to top the shortlist for the role of Adrian Griffin, a billionaire sociopath who made his money developing an invisibility suit for the Department of Defense.
