Julia Garner Joins the Cast of Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Remake

Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man) is headed back into the world of the Universal Monsters with a new take on Wolf Man, and Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has just signed on.

The Emmy-winner will star alongside Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) in the film for Blumhouse and Universal. Wolf Man will howl its way into theaters on October 25, 2024.

Wolf Man stars Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.

Stay tuned for more on this new take on the Universal Monsters icon as we learn it.
