Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein Unveils Full Trailer, Revealing Elordi’s Monster

Guillermo del Toro recently unveiled the initial complete trailer showcasing his upcoming Frankenstein remake, with a focus on Jacob Elordi’s rendition of the Creature.

The much-awaited trailer for the Frankenstein adaptation provides viewers with a profound perspective from the Creature’s viewpoint. The standout element showcases the Creature directly addressing his maker and the audience, marking a narrative shift. With a gothic horror theme, the trailer capitalizes on dark, haunting settings, enigmatic lighting, and a sense of impending doom as the Creature looms into view.

Visually captivating, the trailer intricately balances elements of gruesome horror with a profound emotional undertone. Emotions such as fury, conflict, and desolation are vividly portrayed, notably in the scene where the Creature embarks on a journey to confront Victor Frankenstein (portrayed by Isaac) with a dramatic mask reveal. Even after the unnerving mask removal, the Creature’s face remains partially shrouded, maintaining an air of mystery while hinting at the full character design.

The cast and creative team bring a stellar lineup of established talent to the table. Jacob Elordi steps into the role of the Creature, amplifying his character with a commanding voice and presence. Oscar Isaac masterfully embodies the role of Victor Frankenstein, adding depth to the narrative. Mia Goth takes on the part of Elizabeth Lavenza, complemented by supporting cast members including Christoph Waltz, Charles Dance, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Felix Kammerer, and others.

Guillermo del Toro, the talent behind the screenplay, directing, and producing of the film, has expressed that this adaptation is more than just a horror film. Emphasizing an emotive storyline, Del Toro portrays the Creature not merely as a monster but as a being on a quest for identity, compassion, or perhaps retribution.

The highly anticipated film is all set to captivate audiences on multiple platforms. Its theatrical premiere is scheduled for October 17, 2025, in select theaters, while the streaming debut on Netflix is lined up for November 7, 2025. Prior to its theatrical debut, the film has already made appearances at prestigious festivals like Venice, teasing its compelling narrative to eager audiences worldwide.
