Unveiled in late July, Netflix’s official images depict the Monster with green skin, facial stitching, pronounced scars and dark circles. Oscar Isaac stars as Dr. Victor Frankenstein; Mia Goth portrays Elizabeth Lavenza in Guillermo del Toro’s gothic reinterpretation. Del Toro, whose obsession with the story spans more than 25 years, completed principal photography in Toronto and Edinburgh in September 2024. The adaptation explores deep emotional themes such as humanity, solitude and the creator-creation bond. Frankenstein will debut in competition at the Venice Film Festival in late August followed by a Netflix streaming release in November 2025.
