Emmy-winning actor Julia Garner will play the female lead in Blumhouse & Universal’s Wolf Man. The project will reunite Garner with actor Christopher Abbott after they starred together in her first feature film Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene, reported Variety.

Filmmaker Leigh Whannell, who directed 2020's The Invisible Man for Universal and Blumhouse, will helm Wolf Man, which is about a family that is terrorised by a lethal predator. Garner, who won an Emmy for her performance in Netflix's Ozark, will play the role of the mother, while Abbott, known for A Most Violent Year and It Comes at Night, will take on the part of the father.
