Interestingly enough, The Nice Guys star Russell Crowe recently signed on to play Dr. Jekyll in Universal Pictures’ monster reboot The Mummy, where he’ll star alongside Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella, Annabelle Wallis and Jake Johnson.
A new report reveals that Captain America: Civil War star Chris Evans has become attached in the lead role as Tom Jackman for the studio.
Lionsgate has brought in Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry (The Nice Guys) to write the script, although no plot details were given.
Lionsgate is moving forward with its Jekyll movie, and it seems the studio has found its leading man.
