For years, Mary Shelley’s immortal novel Frankenstein has been slightly misrepresented in the world of cinema. But now, with a new film from director Guillermo del Toro, we could finally be getting a version of this story that actually feels like the wonderful book upon which the legend is based.
During Netflix’s live Tudum event on May 31, the streamer finally unveiled the first trailer for the 2025 version of Frankenstein, which will star Jacob Elordi as the Monster and Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein. Watch the new trailer below and be amazed, and terrified!

What’s with all the stuff with a ship in the Arctic? Well, you probably forgot that in the novel, the entire story is framed that way, with Dr. Frankenstein telling this story while trying to capture the creature. Clearly, by focusing on this all-important element of the book, del Toro is set to deliver a Frankenstein like no other version we’ve seen before.
And yes, the monster is supposed to talk, not just grunt. The whole point of the book was that the creature speaks and has a very specific relationship with its creator.
The film also stars Mia Goth as Victor’s fiancée, Elizabeth, as well as Christoph Waltz as Dr. Pretorious.
What is the release date for the 2025 Frankenstein?

Netflix has not pinned down an exact date, but the new trailer makes it clear the film will hit streaming sometime in November 2025.
