Overview

• Netflix released the full trailer on October 1, centering Jacob Elordi’s narration as the Creature and featuring the line, “If you are not to award me love, then I will indulge in rage.”
• Footage confirms the Creature is assembled from Crimean War corpses and retains fragmented memories tied to those lives.
• Del Toro’s adaptation foregrounds the Creature’s intellect and a design closer to Mary Shelley’s description, described by the director as “staggeringly beautiful” rather than the classic Karloff look.
• Release plan: a limited theatrical run begins October 17, followed by global streaming on Netflix November 7, after strong festival showings at Venice, Telluride, and Toronto, where it placed runner‑up for TIFF’s People’s Choice Award.
• Oscar Isaac stars as Victor Frankenstein with Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Charles Dance, David Bradley, Felix Kammerer, and others, and Jacob Elordi replaced an earlier attachment of Andrew Garfield due to reported scheduling conflicts.
