Overview

• Netflix and Guillermo del Toro released exclusive first-look images via Vanity Fair on July 28, showcasing Jacob Elordi as the Creature and Mia Goth as Elizabeth.
• The Creature’s design departs from classic iconography with green, bandaged skin fused like a kintsugi sculpture beneath a bulky, fur-lined coat.
• Jacob Elordi stepped into the role just nine weeks before filming after Andrew Garfield’s exit, preparing by studying Boris Karloff films and surrounding himself with Bernie Wrightson art.
• Oscar Isaac stars as Dr. Victor Frankenstein alongside a confirmed ensemble that includes Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Charles Dance, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen and David Bradley.
• Netflix has slated del Toro’s emotional reimagining of Mary Shelley’s tale to stream in November 2025 following its anticipated festival screenings.
