A new monster is about to rise. Guillermo del Toro will soon adapt Mary Shelley’s classic tale, Frankenstein, for Netflix, and the streamer has revealed the movie will have quite a star-studded cast. Although early reports indicated that Andrew Garfield would star in the movie as Frankenstein’s monster, it is instead Jacob Elordi who will take on the role. Garfield, it seems, had to depart from the film due to scheduling conflicts. Elordi, meanwhile, recently played a certain kind of monster in Saltburn.
But we feel like we’ll see a whole new side of him once Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein arrives on Netflix. Oscar Isaac, meanwhile, will take on the role of Doctor Frankenstein himself. Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein has even set a Netflix release date of November 7, which is just a couple of weeks after its theater debut of October 17.
Check out everything we know about the film so far below.
When Will Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein Release on Netflix?
So, when will Frankenstein be released on Netflix? Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein will arrive on Netflix on November 7.
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein Reveals Trailer and First Look Photos
We finally have a trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, alongside a few first-look photos.
For our full breakdown of the trailer, check out our piece below.
The film remains shrouded in mystery, and our first glimpses of Frankenstein raise more questions than they answer, but they do pique our interest. A monstrous-looking laboratory. A man with his back to us. Oscar Isaac looking good. We’re into it. And there’s a lot to take in as we look more closely.
del Toro shares that “Much of the film, including this laboratory scene, takes place within the remnants of once-great structures.” And further notes, “Gothic romance was born partially out of the fascination with ruins. Sometimes they’re more beautiful than the building complete because it’s the clash of creation and destruction.”
The Cast of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein
In addition to revealing Elordi’s role in the movie, Netflix also confirmed the full cast of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. First up in the casting line-up, there’s Oscar Isaac, who will play the nefarious Doctor Victor Frankenstein himself. Additionally, Christoph Waltz, scream queen Mia Goth, and Felix Kammerer have all come aboard the film. Per Deadline, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, and Christian Convery will also star.
Honestly, we can’t wait to see this film draw its first breaths. Whether this is a modern adaptation of the movie, a period piece, or anything in between, we’ll take it. A cast this good, combined with del Toro’s vision, will surely bring us something absolutely stunning. We only hope Frankenstein remembers the very queer roots of its story as it comes to life… And then delivers on them in full.

One of Hollywood’s most iconic romances is also one of its most unlikely. Who could have imagined that two robots meeting on an abandoned garbage planet would create something magical together? But that’s exactly what Pixar gave us with its memorable union of a Waste Allocation Load Lifter and a Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator? Of course, we know them as WALL-E and EVE. Now we’ll get to celebrate their relationship in a new way with LEGO’s fantastic new set featuring the love birds droids. Only, those two are bringing two memorable little friends with them.
LEGO’s fantastic new 811-piece WALL-E and EVE Disney building set features four characters from the beloved 2008 Pixar film. WALL-E and EVE stand as the collection’s two signature pieces. You don’t have to have them stand, though. WALL-E’s tracks actually roll. Both him and Eve also come with movable arms and heads so you can display them as you like.
The set’s smaller characters include the cleaning robot M-O and the WALL-E’s cockroach buddy Hal. They’d be fun just as extra bonuses, but M-O’s brush really spins and you can put Hal on his robot friend’s back.
The set also comes with a garbage cube you can load into Earth’s last cleaner. It also features the film’s most important item, that old boot where a living plant bloomed. This collection wouldn’t be complete without it, since WALL-E wouldn’t have followed EVE to space.
While WALL-E might be a classic kid’s animated movie, this set is recommended for adults. But just like with LEGO’s recent Toothless How To Train Your Dragon, older kids who know how to handle those iconic plastic bricks should be able to handle it.
You can pre-order LEGO’s WALL-E and EVE building set now ($69.99). It begins shipping on September 1. Meanwhile that robot romance, like a great LEGO set in your home, will continue to endure forever.

Employees at grocery stores often make small talk, but one man says his Costco checkout experience was more like a roast.
In a TikTok with more than 138,000 views, user @vroomjuicy recalled picking up roasted vegetables when the “pure white” cashier told him he looked like her son. Surprised, he joked, “Ah, he must be handsome.”
