Universal’s upcoming reboot of\u00a0The Invisible Man<\/strong><\/em> has finally cast its titular character. Oliver Jackson-Cohen has joined the film, and is set to star opposite Elisabeth Moss as her abusive ex-boyfriend.<\/p>\n

Jackson-Cohen is best known for playing Luke Crain in Mike Flanagan’s Netflix horror series\u00a0The Haunting Of Hill House<\/strong><\/em>, as well as Roan\/Lucas in\u00a0Emerald City<\/strong><\/em>, Jonathan Harker in\u00a0Dracula\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and Philip White in 2008’s\u00a0Lark Rise To Candleford<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The film, which is part of Universal’s Dark Universe crossover franchise, is being co-produced with Blumhouse. The cast also includes Aldis Hodge (What Men Want<\/strong><\/em>), Harriet Dyer (The InBetween<\/strong><\/em>) and Storm Reid (A Wrinkle In Time<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n

Leigh Whannell, who wrote\u00a0Upgrade<\/strong><\/em> and the original\u00a0Saw\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>film,\u00a0is signed up to direct the picture.<\/p>\n

The remake will see Moss\u2019 character, Cecilia, receive news that her abusive ex (Jackson-Cohen) has committed suicide. Her attempts to rebuild her life are then hindered by her increasing suspicions that he\u2019s not dead after all.<\/p>\n

For a while, it looked as though Johnny Depp would be joining the film as the Invisible Man, as teased by this Dark Universe line-up picture here…<\/p>\n

…but Universal seems to be well and truly over that idea.<\/p>\n
