Netflix Drops First Official Teaser Trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’

The long-awaited vision of master storyteller Guillermo del Toro‘s adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel, Frankenstein has finally come to life with the release of its official teaser trailer. The ominous first look debuted during Netflix‘s Tudum 2025: The Live Event.

The teaser offers a haunting glimpse into del Toro’s gothic and atmospheric take on the legendary tale. It features Oscar Isaac in the titular role of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist, and a terrifyingly obscured Jacob Elordi as his tragic creation, the Monster. The brief footage hints at the monstrous experiment and the unraveling that follows for both creator and creature.

Del Toro, who has described Frankenstein as a deeply personal project he’s wanted to make for over 50 years, is both writing and directing the film. The star-studded cast also includes Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Charles Dance and Christoph Waltz, promising powerful performances.

Frankenstein is slated for release on Netflix in November 2025, with a specific date yet to be announced. This highly anticipated film is expected to delve into the complex themes of creation, abandonment, and the nature of monstrosity, offering a fresh, visually stunning, and faithful interpretation of Shelley’s enduring work.
