Chris Evans has achieved sensation position thanks to his many turns as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , but he ’s not afraid of treading darker water . He ’s also appear in motion picture like Snowpiercer and Sunshine , which makes the news program that he may take on a interlingual rendition of Dr. Jekyll not entirely surprising .
Before you stick out to last , this Robert Louis Stevenson - inspired task is n’t part of the Universal Monsters multiverse thing that ’s about to sound off off with Tom Cruise ’s The Mummy , which will feature Russell Crowe in a character that sounds a lot like Dr. Jekyll ( and , presumably , Mr. Hyde , too ) . alternatively , it ’s an version of a 2007 BBC One mini - serial publication , title Jekyll but about a fibre named Tom Jackman , who ’s a modern - sidereal day descendent of the famed and troubled physician who begins to understand that he ’s inherit a very similar dual - personality problem .
Irish actor James Nesbitt play Jackman on TV , from a playscript write by Steven Moffatt ( Sherlock , Doctor Who ) . Neither original star topology nor writer appear to have any involvement with the feature plastic film , which in summation to Evans ’ casting as the Pb already has a script by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry ( The Nice Guys , Doc Savage , Death Note ) . No director has yet been announced .
