Howl! Universal and Blumhouse have unveiled the first preview for “Wolf Man,” starring Christopher Abbott as the iconic horror creature.

Abbott shares the screen with Julia Garner . This marks a reunion for the actors, as they previously collaborated on 2011’s “Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene,” which was Garner’s first professional acting role.

This is not Abbott’s debut in the horror genre, having starred in 2017’s “It Comes at Night.” Abbott also appeared recently in the Oscar-nominated “Poor Things” and 2019’s “Catch-22.” Garner rose to acclaim following her three-time Emmy-winning performance as Ruth Langmore in “Ozark.” She was also given a nod for 2022’s “Inventing Anna,” receiving an Emmy nomination for her turn as Anna Delvey in Shonda Rhimes’ limited series.

“Wolf Man” is directed by Leigh Whannell , the “Saw” co-creator who also directed the 2020 horror hit “The Invisible Man,” which earned $144 million at the global box office. This is also the filmmaker’s fourth Blumhouse project, following “The Invisible Man,” “Upgrade” and “Insidious: Chapter 3.” Whannell co-writes the script with Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo. Jason Blum serves as producer for the film, a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production, with Ryan Gosling (initially set to star), Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell as executive producers.

Years ago, Universal aimed to launch a connected Dark Universe, rebooting past monster films within a shared world. However, plans were shelved after the critical and commercial failure of 2017’s “The Mummy,” starring Tom Cruise. Interest in the universe resurfaced online following the critical and commercial success of “The Invisible Man.” Universal has since released two Dracula-inspired films, the Nicolas Cage-starring “Renfield” and “The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” both of which received mixed reviews and were considered box office disappointments.

“Wolf Man” is scheduled for release on January 17. Watch the trailer and check out the poster below.
