Overview
- The studio released the full Werwulf trailer and launched an official alternate reality game at DevourethAllMankynde.com on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026.
- The trailer highlights Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe and emphasizes the film’s 13th-century setting, period-appropriate Middle/Old English dialogue and intense body‑horror elements.
- Focus timed the new trailer to the harvest full moon as part of a phased campaign that will place additional assets and 24-hour ARG scavenger hunts on each full moon before the film opens.
- Werwulf is directed by Robert Eggers, co-written with Sjón, produced by Eggers and established partners, and is scheduled to open in theaters on December 25, 2026.
- The campaign builds on Eggers’ recent holiday hit Nosferatu and signals Focus’s strategy of positioning Werwulf as counterprogramming for the Christmas box office while deepening fan engagement ahead of release.
