The trailer for Frankenstein showcases fresh footage featuring the characters portrayed by Isaac and Elordi, in addition to those acted by Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz.

The renowned director Guillermo del Toro (known for Pinocchio, Cabinet of Curiosities, and The Shape of Water), is transforming Mary Shelley’s timeless story about Victor Frankenstein, a gifted yet arrogant scientist, who in his ambition to create life, builds a monstrous being. This act sets in motion events leading to the downfall of both the inventor and his sorrowful creation, as suggested by the official summary.

In this movie, you’ll find actors like Ralph Ineson, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, and Christian Convery joining the crew. Originally, Andrew Garfield had been chosen to portray Frankenstein’s monster, but he had to withdraw due to scheduling issues stemming from the 2023 strikes. His role was later taken by Elordi.

Guillermo del Toro has been persistently attempting to bring Frankenstein to the big screen for numerous years. During a Netflix event in January 2025, he expressed, “This project has been swirling in my thoughts since I was a child – for around fifty years. I’ve been striving to create it for approximately 20 to 25 years. Frankly, some may perceive me as slightly fixated on Frankenstein, and they would likely be correct. The truth is, throughout the years, the character has intertwined with my very essence, becoming almost like a personal biography.

Frankenstein will be released on Netflix in November 2025.
