There are no further details on the cast or the patch , but as previously reported , Elisabeth Moss(The Handmaid ’s Tale ) and Storm Reid ( A Wrinkle In Time ) are set to star , with Leigh Whannell ( pernicious : Chapter 3 ) on board as author and conductor .
Plot details are still a enigma , although it was reported earlier this month thatThe Invisible Manstorywill follow a woman cite Cecilia ( Moss ) who read that her opprobrious x - fellow has committed suicide - but as some foreign things set out to find she begin to wonder if he really is dead . Reid ’s lineament is Sydney , an outgoing girlfriend under the charge of Cecilia who grow mistrustful of her when the aforesaid foreign events begin to bechance .
As for the lead role of the genuine Invisible Man , Johnny Depp was previously set to star but is no longer sequester to the undertaking - though he could select to return if he wanted .
