Summary:
- ‘Invisible Man 2’ is almost here. Star Elisabeth Moss is hopeful about the sequel moving forward.
- She says she and director Leigh Whannell are eager to continue the story from 2020’s ‘The Invisible Man’.
Star Elisabeth Moss has indicated that ‘Invisible Man 2’ is closer to becoming a reality than ever before. Directed by Leigh Whannell, the 2020 remake of ‘Invisible Man‘ introduced a fresh angle to the classic tale, featuring Moss as a woman haunted by an ex-boyfriend who uses a suit that renders him invisible.
Released just as the COVID-19 pandemic was closing theaters worldwide, the film was a financial success, earning $144 million globally and sparking discussions of a sequel.
Four years after the debut of the first film, a sequel has yet to appear, but Moss remains hopeful. She recently provided an encouraging update on the potential for ‘Invisible Man 2.’ You can hear her comments about the sequel at around the 36:00 mark of the interview with Happy Sad Confused.
“We are I would say – and by “we” I mean Blumhouse and my production company – Leigh {Whannell] is doing I think a Wolf Man. … We are closer than we have ever been and to cracking it, and I feel very good about it, and we are very much intent on continuing that story.”
What Will ‘Invisible Man 2’ Be About?
The first ‘Invisible Man’ movie ends with Moss’ character, Cee Kass, defeating her enemy Adrian by slitting his throat and taking his invisibility suit. What she plans to do with this powerful suit is left open, suggesting she could use it for good or bad.
Invisible Man 2′ might look back to the original H.G. Wells story for inspiration and explore how this extraordinary power could corrupt Cee, potentially turning her into an anti-hero.
This plot would delve into how a tool meant to empower can also cause ruin. Given the deep themes of the first film, any sequel would likely tackle serious, relevant social issues in a chilling horror setting.
While ‘Invisible Man 2’ appears to be on the horizon, Moss has noted that she cannot provide specifics on when production will start, as director Leigh Whannell is currently busy filming his ‘Wolf Man’ movie.
If Whannell decides to take on the ‘Invisible Man’ sequel next, the film could potentially hit theaters by early 2026.
