Earlier we reported that Benicio Del Toro was unsure whether Anthony Hopkins would be involved with The Wolf Man, contracts still needed to be signed and things needed to be worked out. However, MTV have now confirmed that Anthony Hopkins will star alongside Del Toro in the remake. He will play Sir John Talbot, father to Del Toro’s Lawrence Talbot, the character who becomes afflicted with the werewolf curse. The film is expected to be release sometime in 2009.
