Well this is potentially brilliant casting if it comes off. Yes, as the headline suggests, Oscar Isaac is in talks to play Gomez Addams.

Of course, while Isaac – currently seen as Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Last Jedi – would be the perfect fit to play the charming Gomez, sadly this is only for the upcoming Addams Family animated movie rather than any live-action outing. Tracking Board broke the news of these talks, and Isaac and MGM are currently in negotiations over the actor joining the Conran Vernon-helmed picture; Vernon himself best known for Sausage Party.

No other details are known on this new Addams Family animated effort just yet, but expect more on all of this as we get it.
