Overview

  • Netflix will open the film in select theaters on October 17 before a global streaming debut on November 7.
  • The rollout begins with a Venice Film Festival premiere followed by a Toronto International Film Festival screening as part of an awards-season push.
  • Oscar Isaac stars as Victor Frankenstein with Jacob Elordi as the Creature, alongside Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz.
  • Del Toro emphasizes fidelity to Shelley and reframes Victor less as a mad scientist than as an artist and showman, drawing on large-scale practical sets.
  • Elordi joined after Andrew Garfield left the project for reported legal reasons, as del Toro finished sound mixing in Toronto and promotional materials, including a trailer, were released.
