The Netflix film will be one of the event films of 2025.
After, Pinocchio Guillermo del Toro attacks Frankenstein. The Mexican filmmaker is making a new adaptation of the novel by Mary Shelley (1818) and it will still be for Netflix. It is Oscar Isaac who will be Doctor Victor Frankenstein. We discover him here, from behind, in this first official photo (via Vanity Fair), which shows him in his laboratory filled with corpses and unsuccessful “experiments”. Jacob Elordi will play the monster “alive”!

The story will take place in “remains of once grandiose constructions” And Guillermo del Toro explains in Vanity Fair that the settings will play an important role:
“Gothic romanticism arose partly from the fascination with ruins. Sometimes they are more beautiful than the complete building because it is the clash of creation and destruction.”
Frankenstein will also see Mia GothChristoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Christian Convery and Ralph Ineson in the cast.
Frankenstein will be released in 2025 on Netflix. No specific date yet.
