After finding a new lead for the project, Universal and Blumhouse’s Wolf Man reboot have found another new star with Julia Garner. The updated take on the horror monster classic was pitched by Ryan Gosling with the Barbie star intended to lead, with The Invisible Man‘s Leigh Whannell attached to direct before being swapped out with The Place Beyond the Pines‘ Derek Cianfrance. Gosling would later bow out as star and remain on as executive producer, with Whannell returning to direct and co-write with Corbett Ruck, Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, with Christopher Abbott now starring.
Less than a month after Abbott and Whannell were confirmed for the movie, Variety has brought word that Julia Garner has joined the Wolf Man reboot cast. The Golden Globe and Emmy winner is best known for her roles in Netflix’s Ozark as well as the true-story-based miniseries Inventing Anna and drama thriller The Assistant. Sources report that Garner will be playing the mother of a family being terrorized by the eponymous monster.
