If Evans lands the part, he will have to perform the hilarious song ‘Dentist’, check out Martin’s version below:
The story follows hapless florist shop worker Seymour who raises a plant, who he names Audrey II, that feeds on human blood and flesh.
Collider report that Scarlett Johansson is circling the female lead of Audrey, the love interest of Seymour, a meek florist poised to be played by Taron Egerton.
Although these are just rumours, Pose star Billy Porter has been confirmed to lend his voice to the flesh eating, alien plant.
