Julia Garner Joins Blumhouse’s ‘Wolf Man’

The Wolf Man moves one step closer to becoming a reality by casting Julia Garner, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Inventing Anna star will be joining the Blumhouse production meant to introduce an iconic movie monster to a new generation, after the original version of the story came out in 1941. Christopher Abbott was recently cast as the lead of the film, taking over for Ryan Gosling, with filming on the project starting soon considering it’s supposed to hit the big screen later this year. No one will be safe from the Wolf Man, even is his origin story is quite different from the one seen in George Waggner‘s classic.

This year’s version of The Wolf Man will follow a family as they try to protect themselves from the terrifying creature, while the 1941 iteration of the story followed a couple burdened with the wolf’s curse. Additional plot details are being kept under wraps by Jason Blum‘s studio, with the company constantly keeping their biggest surprises for their title’s premiere in theaters. Just like they did with Five Nights at Freddy’s and M3GAN, Blumhouse will likely make sure audiences go into The Wolf Man knowing as little as possible about their next horrifying tale.

The Wolf Man hits theaters on October 25, 2024. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
