“I must confess – I never considered what would come after creation.” The story of a monster & his unique creation. Netflix has revealed one final trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s new Frankenstein movie, his uniquely gothic and extra dark take on this classic story from author Mary Shelley. After premiering at the 2025 Venice & Telluride Film Festivals (read my review) it will be streaming on Netflix starting next week. This trailer finally gives us a much better look at his monster – as played by Jacob Elordi in one of the best performances of the year. Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts the tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation. The phenomenal cast includes Oscar Isaac as Victor and Jacob Elordi as his “monster”, with Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Charles Dance, Christian Convery, and Ralph Ineson. The movie has already been playing in theaters for a few weeks and will be playing on Netflix soon – hence why they’re giving it one big push with this final trailer. Catch on the big screen if you can, either way it’s worth a watch.

Here’s the final trailer (+ art poster) for Guillermo del Toro’s take on Frankenstein, direct from YouTube:
