Julia Garner Joins Leigh Whannell's Mysterious Wolf Man Reboot

The path to Universal and Blumhouse’s Wolfman reboot—known here as Wolf Man—has been slow going. But on Friday, the movie added a new star to its cast in Ozark’s Julia Garner.

Per Deadline, Garner will have the lead role as a mother whose family ends up terrorized by the titular werewolf, playing opposite Christopher Abbott. (The two actors previously worked together in 2011's Martha Marcy May Marlene, Garner’s professional acting debut.) Her casting comes weeks after Abbott took leading man duties from Ryan Gosling, who’d been attached to the film for years before dropping out. While he won’t be starring in the movie, Gosling will still serve as an executive producer.
