Per the official synopsis:
Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
In addition to Isaac, the cast includes Jacob Elordi as the Creature; Mia Goth as Elizabeth Valenza, who is engaged to Victor’s young brother William, played by William Kammerer; Lars Mikkelsen as Captain Anderson; Christopher Waltz as Heinrich Harlander, uncle to Elizabeth and wealthy financer of Victor’s experiments; Charles Dance as Victor’s father Leopold; Lauren Collins as Victor’s late mother Claire; David Bradley as the blind man; Sofia Galasso as the little girl; Ralph Ineson as Professor Krempe; and Burn Gorman as Fritz.
The trailer looks every bit as mythically epic and visually lavish as del Toro said he wanted for his version. “I remember pieces, the Creature says in a voiceover as footage plays out. “Memories of different men. Then I saw it. Your name. Victor Frankenstein. My creator. I demand a single grace from you. If you are not to award me love, then I will indulge in rage.”
We see lavish balls, Victor’s Gothic laboratory, a ship trapped in Arctic ice, and lots and lots of consuming fire—everything one could want in a Frankenstein movie from a master of macabre mythologies.
Frankenstein hits theaters on October 17, 2025. It will start streaming on Netflix on November 7.
