Frankenstein 2025 Teaser Trailer Drops on Netflix

Frankenstein 2025 Teaser Trailer: A Chilling Glimpse Into Guillermo Del Toro’s Vision

It’s alive—and it looks stunning. Netflix just dropped Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited Frankenstein 2025 Teaser Trailer, and it’s every bit as haunting, beautiful, and emotionally charged as fans hoped it would be.

Revealed during Netflix‘s Tudum 2025 global fan event, the teaser gives us our first real glimpse at del Toro’s decades-in-the-making dream project. Academy Award winner Oscar Isaac stars as Dr. Victor Frankenstein, delivering intense narration over icy Arctic landscapes. Meanwhile, Jacob Elordi looms as the mysterious Monster, barely shown but already commanding attention with his towering presence and a tortured scream that echoes, “Victor!”

But don’t expect jump scares or cheap thrills. Del Toro has made it clear: this isn’t a horror flick. It’s an emotionally layered, gothic character piece about fathers, sons, and the consequences of creation. “I’m not doing a horror movie—ever,” he said. “For me, it’s an incredibly emotional movie.”

Frankenstein 2025 Teaser Trailer Highlights

The trailer leans into that vibe hard. We see glimpses of Victor’s radical experiments, a lab soaked in lightning and steampunk tech, and Mia Goth as Elizabeth, shrouded in a ghostly green veil that hints at tragedy. The cinematography from Dan Laustsen (The Shape of Water) is pure del Toro: lush, dramatic, and loaded with symbolism.

The cast is stacked. In addition to Isaac, Elordi, and Goth, the film features Christoph Waltz as the sinister Dr. Pretorius, a nod to the classic Bride of Frankenstein character, plus Ralph Ineson, Lars Mikkelsen, and del Toro regulars like Burn Gorman and David Bradley. Alexandre Desplat, who won an Oscar for The Shape of Water, handles the score, which promises to be lyrical and haunting rather than spooky.

Why This Signals a Big Awards Season Push

Netflix is aiming big here. With a release date set for November 2025, Frankenstein looks primed for awards season glory. And considering del Toro’s track record (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, Pinocchio), it’s hard not to get excited. This is shaping up to be the monster movie event of the year—and maybe the definitive version of Mary Shelley’s classic for a new generation.
