Johnny Depp to be replaced by a woman in The Invisible Man
Johnny Depp will not be starring in Universal's The Invisible Man. This is reported by Variety with reference to its sources. Moreover, Universal intends to completely change the concept and focus the plot on a female character. The studio is said to be interested in the participation of the star of the series "The Handmaid's Tale" Elizabeth Moss, with whom negotiations are already underway. The director of the project is the creator of the thriller "Upgrade" Lee Wannell. He was also instructed to prepare a new version of the script. Recall that Universal launched its Dark Cinema Universe in 2016, and at the same time it was announced that Johnny Depp would play in the movie adaptation of H.G. Wells' work. However, after that, the actor was involved in a whole series of scandals, and large studios began to refuse his services. Universal was no exception. Also, the plans for the development of this cinematic universe were influenced by the not very successful distribution of the movie "The Mummy". It paid off, making just over $ 400 million on a $ 125 million production budget, but not generating the expected profits for its creators.
