Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Debuts Full Trailer, Revealing Jacob Elordi’s Creature

Early festival screenings set awards-season expectations for del Toro’s decades-in-the-making adaptation.

Overview

  • Netflix released the first full trailer on Oct. 1, offering the clearest look yet at Jacob Elordi’s prosthetic Creature and his voiceover.
  • A new poster dropped Sept. 30, unveiling Elordi’s full facial design and hand detail after months of deliberately obscured imagery.
  • Oscar Isaac stars as Victor Frankenstein with Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz among the ensemble, in a version del Toro frames as an emotional, empathy-first take rather than straight horror.
  • The film begins a limited theatrical run on Oct. 17, includes select IMAX play, and streams globally on Netflix Nov. 7.
  • Following Venice, Telluride, and Toronto showings—where it was TIFF People’s Choice runner-up—the film carries an MPA R rating for bloody violence and grisly images.
